Funny because it was once the farming community. The city just keeps spreading.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293816902877287168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-24002980866908589192010-10-21T15:32:51.165-04:002010-10-21T15:32:51.165-04:00Oh Betsy.

I have more than once look like a city girl.

It was just in her blood. no amount of outback took the London out of her. <br /><br />I have to say that is true for me in part too. I have lived far more of my life stateside but even so i don;t colorado will ever feel truly like home like London does adn even so i still consider myself a city person. In fact I am a moderate town sized person now, a semi native for certain,but I still find my town soooo incredibly boring. I actually get rather ticked when locals try to sell me the paper. I go so far as to tell them that as nothing of any significance happens here I really don;t care to read it! sorry. It's almost all fluff.<br /><br />Anyway, I did love your reference to the nesting boxes. made me laugh and love the photos too.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712046924863763290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-42004855231501337462010-10-20T10:55:34.556-04:002010-10-20T10:55:34.556-04:00Jensamom ~ ah, see..city girls think alike!
