Cultivating Paradise is supposed to be about gardening so I always feel like I"m rambling when I include birds, animals, and personal stuff. <BR/><BR/>MARTHA - a resaca is a stream or small river - the same as a bayou is East Texas.Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888999648897092221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-52463851327011856382009-03-19T22:25:00.000-05:002009-03-19T22:25:00.000-05:00Those are wonderful spoonbills.
