I chose it for them as I wanted them to appreciate all the Wild Things...and their right to exist, as part of the web of life. You will see the impact of this in my latest post :)<br /><br />Loved the birds...beautiful...and so friendly too :)A wildlife gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261817184002496844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072025424165524969.post-44870629744053537842010-03-19T19:50:59.502+11:002010-03-19T19:50:59.502+11:00i actually love your own posting style, very excit...i actually love your own posting style, very exciting.<br />don't give up and keep penning due to the fact that it just simply worth to read it,<br />impatient to looked over much more of your article content, have a good one :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072025424165524969.post-32197151943368530092010-03-17T12:39:42.526+11:002010-03-17T12:39:42.526+11:00I too have books from the past that I treasure, no...I too have books from the past that I treasure, not necessarily for the content, but for the memories they evoke.

Harlequins...what a joke.<br />She did love a good mystery, however, and tried to interest me in literature. To some degree she was successful for I read all of Albert Payson Terhune's books on his life with collies and the Jack London stories. "Old Yeller" was another of my favorites, as I'm sure it brought laughter and tears to many a kid's eyes. Around about 11-12 years old she handed me a western (she knew I loved cowboys'n'indians) by Louis L'Amour and I read his books religiously from that day forward......right alongside the Bahgavad Gita and Carlos Castenada's books. I think L'Amour had more of an impact on my ideas of manhood than any man I recall though I certainly didn't adhere to them. For many years I didn't read much of anything except to re-read old westerns. Most of what I learned was learned "hands on" so to speak. These days, and for the last 12 years, I tend to read intense research literature. Books make a lifelong lasting impression on us...yes indeedy !!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687020216039527521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072025424165524969.post-72461112292340418542010-03-17T05:43:21.066+11:002010-03-17T05:43:21.066+11:00Lovely post,an enjoyable read :)Lovely post,an enjoyable read :)Marinelahttp://marinelareka.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072025424165524969.post-1030752145344220312010-03-15T19:53:55.697+11:002010-03-15T19:53:55.697+11:00So many books have influenced me.

My mom was a nurse and we would look at many of her nursing textbooks when we were younger. I ended up becoming a nurse myself. <br />It looks like a pretty botanic garden. I'm getting anxious to go visit the botanical gardens near us soon.Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072025424165524969.post-15034047820529793302010-03-15T07:15:02.805+11:002010-03-15T07:15:02.805+11:00Now I never thought of something practical...like ...Now I never thought of something practical...like a gardening book or a cookbook, but you are right that these kinds of books do a lot to change us too.Lilibethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031218249072893776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072025424165524969.post-8900508591495519612010-03-15T04:12:36.177+11:002010-03-15T04:12:36.177+11:00Enjoyed this considerably – thank you for sharing…...Enjoyed this considerably – thank you for sharing…<br />…rob<br /><a href="http://image-verse.com" rel="nofollow">Image & Verse</a>robkistnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166835029205143266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072025424165524969.post-31379936674660328952010-03-14T23:59:40.737+11:002010-03-14T23:59:40.737+11:00Every book I read influences me in some way - and ...Every book I read influences me in some way - and some I just cannot read no matter what the review because of the language used. I do not want to be influenced to think those kind of words and have them work themselves into my vocabulary. I cannot imagine what it would be like not to have books or not to able to read. My world would be much smaller. <br />Loved your post as always.<br />Haven't meant to ignore your questions in recent comments - just forget to answer.<br />Yes, we still have all the cats: Pretty Little Momma; Smoke; Tig-Tig; Alfalfa; Velcro; Marco; Pokey; Cheddars; Rumbler; and Pixie. And last night the outside cat who moved in this winter, Lady Jane, had three kittens in the shelter on the back porch. Dear Lord, have mercy.<br />The roof socks did work to melt thru the ice dam and helped alleviate some of the leaking into the house. If it happens again we will try this techniqe earlier. Right now the socks are all hanging from the porch banister drying out. Wonder what the mailman thinks when he cuts thru the yard?
