I can believe that it's National Mail Order Gardening month. The catalogs are pouring in. However, the trade organization of organizational products is obviously not on the ball. Nowhere in your list did I see a National Organize Your Life week although that's all I've seen advertised in the newspaper circulars for the past few days.

I hate it when people feel superior towards other living things on our planet. When will they get it we must live with them and protect them, so they keep the great balance our world feeds on. Just because they don't think things will get bad during their lifetime doesn't mean it won't effect their grand kids and their kids. Well I have a protected speices who I live with and welcome more.

The first time I can recall seeing a Bald Eagle in the wild was on a motorcycle ride, which turned out to be my last one in IL. It was a crisp November day and I was riding a nice curvy road paralleling the Rock River heading north. I had just navigated a tight curve when a large shadow passed me. I looked up into the sun and thought I saw the white tail feathers. I thought....nah, couldn't be....and then it turned its head towards me and there was that magnificent head. It soared over the river looking for fish, following my route for a little while. It was just the bird and me along the river. Down here, we have Reelfoot Lake in NW TN, which is a popular place for Bald Eagles to nest so I've seen quite a few more. But the day one was flying over the 5 acre pond in front of my house was memorable. I missed it flying but caught the crows chasing it. The Eagle had just caught a fish and the crows were trying to get it away from the Eagle. It had the fish in its talons, lifted up off the ground and flew a short distance to eat. I watched it dine while the crows pestered it.
