Margherita, sorry to hear about you having the flu. I quit getting flu shots when I was 19 and haven't had the "flu" since. It took me 19 years to figure out I was allergic to the flu shots. I hope you get over it soon sweetie! I'll tell Katherine of your birthday wishes. I was in Roma in 1973 it was 112 and I just had been in Switzerland and had about 5 candy bars that melted in my suit case. I was on a band concert tour called School band of America, we traveled all around Europe for a month doing concerts. I played sax. I wrote a poem 10 years ago for my husband I'll have to find the poetry section and post it. The birds stayed for a few hours they didn't go very far they just few up into my trees. I have a 6 acre yard it was an open field when we built here 30 years ago and we planted all of the trees. So I don't have like a woods area my trees are getting so big that the whole yard is getting to be like a woods. I'll post a Google picture of it my house and barn and yard. I don't put out food for the deer they find plenty to eat from just what grows on it's own and from what is left over from the farmers around me. Some times they bring me food, I'll walk up to get the mail and find ears of corn that they dropped on their way to my back yard they like to sleep in the pines back there. Happy New year to you all!
