Mia, I am glad to hear all the people are okay. Lisa, I agree. This could have been so much worse if the fire had reached the fertilizer area. I just hate that this happened to TLC and hope they can get everything cleaned up and repaired quickly so it doesn't affect their business too much this spring. They are so fortunate the OKC firefighters were able to get the fire extinguished as quickly as they did in yesterday's strong winds. As bad as it looked, it certainly could have been much worse. I like TLC even though I live far away and don't visit it very often . Dawn

Thank you again for sharing with us. Finding something here from you to read was a perfect way to end my day. Please let me tell you how much we enjoy your writing and your efforts.

What great stories, you have a way of putting together everyday words that allow me to see everything. Thank-you. My eldest son was late to talk. His younger brother was his interpreter at home and a good friend, who remains to this day as they both turn 28 his best friend, was his interpreter at pre-school. When he finally started to talk there was no shutting him up. He became a non-stop talker. There were times when we were driving and I would tell him that he would have to be quiet for 5 minutes because I had to concentrate with all the busy traffic. He would be quiet for less than a minute and then it was "Is 5 minutes up mom, because I have to tell you did you see that car that was........" and off he went. At 28 he still likes to talk.

I found this on another site about which birds in the US lay blue eggs - http://sialis.org/blueeggs.htm Not All Blue Eggs are Bluebird Eggs "Just because eggs are blue doesn't mean they were laid by a bluebird. Bluebirds are cavity nesters, and VERY rarely lay their eggs outside of a cavity. (When desperate, they may use a ledge or other location. See photos.) Some people who report finding bluebird eggs in odd locations (in a potted plant for example) are really seeing eggs of another species, like the American Robin nest, eggs, and nestlings in these photos. House Finches lay eggs that are bluish-green, and sometimes use a nestbox. See more photos. Starlings also lay blue eggs, but they are bigger than bluebird eggs. About 4-5% of bluebirds actually lay white eggs. Robin hatchlings are much larger than bluebird hatchlings, and have longer tufts of white fuzz along their spines and forehead. They are incubated for about 12-14 days, and fledge in 14-16 days. Birds that nest in an "open" cup (vs. cavity nesters) need to develop and get out from their vulnerable location faster.
