Our beautiful, Nationally protected, Audobon bird sanctuary is a lovely place for a quiet walk, and bird watching. However not everyone sees it that way. There's no explanation for people who decide it's there for their personal trash dump. Nothing like an abandoned water bottle to beautify the place. Construction workers? Visiting grandkids? Who knows? What a pity

This is the first time I have felt ready to continue on this jouney after spending the last four months nursing my husband through a terminal illness.
