Wish I could go back there with what I know now. For example, I recall my father (a self-taught naturalist) showing me a really big woodpecker that her was really excited about. That would have been in the late 1940's, when we still had a lot of old growth digitalzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10670556566634503223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-90813179393089385042018-05-01T11:06:51.611-07:002018-05-01T11:06:51.611-07:00Hi Bill!

Like, I thought Humpty Dumpty was a potato and I didn't understand why he busted into a million pieces.

Why, if the spider was inside, did the rain wash it out? Wasn't it protected? I was probably in my teens before I realized that eaves had downspouts, and water could indeed wash out a spider. I guess that's what came from living in a Cracker house with wide eaves that dripped wherever they wanted to: cultural deprivation.<br /><br />digitalzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10670556566634503223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-59363179336902647602018-04-30T10:00:20.886-07:002018-04-30T10:00:20.886-07:00Sounds like you know a bunch too.
