A book fair is being held at the
school this week as well. Both today
and tomorrow, during school hours,
the public is welcome to browse and
perhaps purchase from a variety of
books.
Although this is an age of

Do others have bluejays this year?
Strangely I don't. I have cardinals,
juncos, chickadees, nuthatches and
the occasional sparrow. There are no
finches at this time.
Isn't it wonderful that we can sit at
home and still attend the winter
Olympics in Salt Lake City.
