I like the idea that birds recycle fluff and stuff for their nests. I had a childhood book about a little girl with golden hair. Each day after brushing her hair, her granny told her she must collect the golden hairs out of her hairbrush and give them to the wind so that the birds could catch them and line their nests with her soft golden hair. I always think of that when I brush my hair each day ... only the softest lined nests will do for my blackbirds' bottoms!

G is for gingerbread and my inchy for the letter "G" in the inchy alphabet challenge

Ginger is feeling the cold again! We have a bright and sunny day in St. Ives but it's very chilly ... not Spring yet ... but it's on the way!
That's all for today ... busy catching up with "H" now ... back soon!
