So true. <br />Happy blogging anniversary! I remember several of your top 5 and will visit the couple I am unsure about (like Tracy, I think I am remembering Antonia's story in a later post). I especially loved the bridges and tunnels post. I look forward to reading another year of your writing.Dreamfarm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494214244290730058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-27842449232862138282010-10-08T21:13:47.265-07:002010-10-08T21:13:47.265-07:00You are in very good spirits!

I'm in total agreement with you about how the colors of the leaves and the crispness of the air makes me feel kindof more alive, if you will. I know everyone else feels that way about spring...but perhaps that's why I feel so comfortable when I pull up a chair to read your posts? We are kindred spirits? :-)<br /><br />And I have to admit, I'm jealous.<br />Your evening out sounded positively delightful!!!!f8hasithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09195691823384775191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-5366297894355108752010-10-06T08:30:49.289-07:002010-10-06T08:30:49.289-07:00Yes, Tracey, I think we discovered each other just...Yes, Tracey, I think we discovered each other just after the Africa post. Antonia sent it to all her family and they thought it was hilarious. She said my family seemed pretty exotic to her, too!<br /><br />Vince: Almost a year, yes. I think you saw the word Zambia in my labels of interest, which led you the Africa Post, too. Enjoy your weekend outings!<br /><br />Alistair: You are so right about a bit of manual labour. Even just yesterday I left my daughter, who was home with a cough, in the house with the tv and I went outside and did some soothing yard work in the sunshine.Rebecca S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16409572371302109142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-84593213293628281032010-10-05T16:16:00.722-07:002010-10-05T16:16:00.722-07:00It's great how a few hours doing something man...It's great how a few hours doing something manual, in connection with nature or the land, or even just a hike or photography can let burdens drop from your shoulders,draw you closer to others and give space for perspective.<br /><br />I didn't realise that you had included your 5 favourites here either so with your permission - it's late and for once I'm tired {children's panel today was a toughie} so I'll come back in the morning to read them, although I recognise a few already.<br /><br />I know exactly what you mean about feeling protective over them too. I feel the same.<br /><br />regards.....Al.Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667242161539996736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-51479974792513839852010-10-05T15:48:28.697-07:002010-10-05T15:48:28.697-07:00It is amasing that the fruiting bodies of the fung...It is amasing that the fruiting bodies of the fungi know it's now or never. <br />This weekend I intend to visit Cnoc Samhna "Hill of Samhain" and the stone circle at Loch Gur. <br /><br />I hadn't realised I'd been commenting on your blog for almost a year now.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442327549417743472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-82120443133596577882010-10-05T13:59:53.542-07:002010-10-05T13:59:53.542-07:00I love your Fall celebrations.

I remember one Antonia post, I just don't think this is the one. I will go check it out now.<br /><br />Congrats on starting your second year.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17502168917372783418noreply@blogger.com
