It's been a busy bird spring and we catch up in this Bird post.
A baby grackles refuses to leave the nest, house wrens eye up a pig planter and collect dog hair. A mockingbird takes on a crow.
Oh, and don't forget the baby bunny.

Here's a Garden post with some pics of the new container garden and garden evolution.
It's been a beautiful spring here in Delmarva. So why was I so worried?

We've got some scoop on Murtha and what might have happened in Haditha.

"On the bright side, if President Bush's amnesty proposal for illegal immigrants ends up hurting Republicans and we lose Congress this November, maybe the Democrats will impeach him and we'll get Cheney as president."
- Columnist Ann Coulter
Just in time for the holiday, here's a Fiction entry titled "A Memorial Day Service for a Soldier Who Never Served".
The protagonist returns to the home of her former fiance, a fiance she thought died in military action.
Only her investigation reveals her former fiance was not killed in war time action and indeed, had never reported for military duty!
So why did his mother throw a memorial service every year in his honor? A service attended by all the townspeople. They too think something's suspicious about the hometown hero's heroism.

Here's the story of a kitchen makeover that effectively made use of every available space in a pretty but practical manner.
Okay, so it's only the story of MY kitchen makeover, but I'm very pleased with the results.
I would thank to HGTV for all their guidance. Also, my parents for making me possible....
Memorial Day Fiction and Kitchen Makeover 5/22/06
It's beginning to look ominous in that Duke rape probe. Ominous in that, could the prosecutor really be this far off?

Yes, folks, another Kennedy airplane mishap.

True Crime Update 5/16/06
Here's some Political Tidbits and I apologize in advance about the rant.
But that Kennedy family, with their cars that do not follow commands, airplanes that don't steer properly in fog, trees that kill on ski slopes…when will we ever have our fill of these people?
Also, be a millionaire for only ten bucks and check in for Hill and Bill's newest campaign finance crime.

At first blush this post might seem germane to only Delaware readers. Specifically, Sussex county Delaware readers.
Not so!
Click in and read how perhaps you too can tune in, across the mighty Internet, on YOUR local council meeting.
My experience was interesting but I still don't know why I wasn't invited to that "Quick Chicks" thing.

Certainly it is important to put thought and care into decisions you make. Be sure to also put just as much energy into the living and fulfillment of those choices.

Let's talk about fashion.
More specifically, those fashion shows such as "How Do I Look?" or "What Not to Wear" that would have an unfashionable schlep nominated by family and friends made over from dumpy to delicious.
A review of the above shows plus a few others is given.
The shows are not always so kind to the fashion-deprived.
Fashion Show Review HERE
