I read a book for a nature book club called Red-Tails in Love, about some bird watchers who observe a red-tailed hawk. <br /><br />They are saying the flu is in full swing so I hope we have January cold to help kill germs! Unfortunately, it's not cold enough in the school! <br /><br />Enjoy your quiet weekend.
