It's been a while, but a treat. I have been drawing nests for over 40 years, of course not all I have done. But a couple of years ago, I pulled out a drawing, and saw the date, over 40 years ago. Your nests are as beautiful as some of the bird's built nests I have seen. I have read only bird's can build nests, they cannot be built by "man," but you have proven that they can be built by a "woman." This year has passed in a slow "hurry up," may next year stand still just a little. Beautiful post. annell4https://www.blogger.com/profile/07629830133868270690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-15612511351423601982012-12-26T13:14:55.983-08:002012-12-26T13:14:55.983-08:00oh, that sexiness of that truth

It feels warm and comforting here...like I want to snuggle down with a cup of hot chocolate loaded with fresh whipped cream, and a soft, cozy blanket. I love and adore all the quotes - I am a quote and poetry junkie, so it is a joy to read your blog. <br /><br />Have a great evening!<br /><br />xoxoSixpence and A Blue Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06653475055650433027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-18576670591233587462012-12-04T10:54:45.556-08:002012-12-04T10:54:45.556-08:00purely the transcendental adventure--
