Note to readers

We have out-of-town guests arriving today and that will necessitate my absence from these pages for the next few days. But don't forget about me! Keep checking back for I shall return, hopefully sometime next week. And thank you to all my faithful readers. You are appreciated more than I can possibly say.

Weekend hiatus

 The Nature of Things is on hiatus this weekend so no "This Week in Birds" or "Poetry Sunday" posts. They will return next weekend. Thank you for looking or them. 

Note to readers

 My blog has recently been under attack by some unknown entity that has been attempting to use the comment section to pass along information to some other entity. Consequently, I have been forced to activate comment moderation. Please be assured that any legitimate comment will be approved and published as soon as I can get to it. I love your comments and look forward to reading them.

Note to my readers

To those of you who may have noticed my recent blog silence and wondered about it, the truth is that I have been quite sick. A bacterial infection has flattened me and made it impossible for me to do much of anything, including blogging. I hope to be feeling better soon and back to my normal activities. Meantime, thank you for your patience.
