Much to my surprise, there were 4 deceased European House Sparrows in the woodstove. Oh dear. I don't use the basement room very much so I never really had a chance to hear them. :(Claire MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603169881463831299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30891954.post-30358251206386072312011-02-20T07:10:29.192-08:002011-02-20T07:10:29.192-08:00Why is that hubbies can't hear stuff like that...Why is that hubbies can't hear stuff like that?!
