I love to watch the birds and the squirrels. I NEVER thought to throw my dryer lint outside! I will DO that! Toss it into the woods for the birdies! They will love it, I am sure!

If only I could become invisible.<BR/>That's why watching animals can be even better and I love that too. I'm completely entertained by their movements or even watching a cat sleep and its little paws is good enough for me. I'm so weird lolDevil Moodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16083722657651175729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072025424165524969.post-71422517535196718232008-08-18T05:47:00.000+10:002008-08-18T05:47:00.000+10:00I usually to do a lot of 'people watching.'

Then as a mother I looked to see what the younger kids were wearing so I could be sure to keep my own kids fashions updated.<BR/>Now as I 'people watch' I find I am praying for a lot of strangers. Those with infirmities and the boys whos britches look like an embarassing moment waiting to happen, and also for the young girls who are dressing like hookers and don't have a clue what kind of trouble it can get them into.<BR/>My prayer life has certainly increased as I have aged and I still like to prople watch.Mountain Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484592294033354129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072025424165524969.post-89875807275637825172008-08-18T01:31:00.000+10:002008-08-18T01:31:00.000+10:00I'm with Granny Smith on both sets of observations...I'm with Granny Smith on both sets of observations being very good. Regarding the first, I try not to let the fact that people are watching me have too much of an impact on what I am and what I do. Makes my children uncomfortable sometimes -- singing out loud in public for example -- but they'll grow out of the discomfort!Patois42https://www.blogger.com/profile/07764936858778730692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072025424165524969.post-87561231554132011622008-08-17T23:48:00.000+10:002008-08-17T23:48:00.000+10:00Lovely!

Observing people is the key to being a good writer, don't you think? Re magpies: when we lived in Melbourne - actually Box Hill - a pair of magpies, EVERY MORNING at dawn, carried pebbles to the crest of the ridgepole of our corrugated-iron roof and dropped themso that they would make a resounding racket as they rolled down. And they did it again and again! We learned to be very early risers.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'll write that story on a bad blog day sometime.Granny Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18214748856516412924noreply@blogger.com
