Our company's here!

It was a perfect evening for sitting on the porch tonight, cool, quiet, low humidity, watching the twilight fall. A perfect evening for getting to know wildlife biologist Sharon Reilly, who will be staying with us for three days. She's on assignment in Minnetonka as a publishers' rep during the day, but we'll share her evenings. We've already learned a lot about birds, cats and the nest-building habits of bald eagles and some of her theories about how they survive. She's worked in Hawaii, been to Midway Island, and now lives in Wisconsin with a couple of cats -- but she really loves poodles, which is a good thing for Birdie, who plans on running downstairs to wake her up in the mornings
