They built these right in the neighborhood, on the top of tall trees - so apparently, they don't mind us people. :) It surprised me though because usually herons are very private and shy birds and never let you get close. This is the closest I've ever got to them. It was unbelievably beautiful experience.<br /><br />I totally understand about more quiet environment. Let's just say thrifting is good in all the senses. :)Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-90302172534554062952014-04-14T23:44:56.159-07:002014-04-14T23:44:56.159-07:00I enjoyed the peek at the herons nesting.

I love to walk as well, and especially in the rain, but maybe that is because we don't get much rain here. I also love thrift shopping. It's not just the bargains and the uniqueness, but also having sensory issues, it is a quieter sensory environment than the mall!Jazzy Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082508866581606775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-13770104819556397172014-04-14T12:01:13.172-07:002014-04-14T12:01:13.172-07:00Thank you, Glenda! :)Thank you, Glenda! :)Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-84967278994081872052014-04-14T12:00:17.535-07:002014-04-14T12:00:17.535-07:00You'll have to remind me about your oriental j...You'll have to remind me about your oriental jacket with one of your future posts, Olga! :) Yes, it's all just guidelines, isn't it, sizing?

I will certainly do more yoga in the future, but probably not much during the Summer which is so short here, it's a shame to waste it in a gym. :)Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-60210580140883761402014-04-14T11:57:32.098-07:002014-04-14T11:57:32.098-07:00I agree with you - more thrifting in my future too...I agree with you - more thrifting in my future too. :) Thank you for your kind words, dear!

I am also with you on old stuff - love it, it has soul and history. We live in an old cottage (about 80 or 90 y.o. I think). All these cute nooks and corners you don't find in most of newer homes... so cozy and romantic!

Krista's told me about the 70 degree sunshine and I'm very envious!

LOL <br /><br />That sweater fits perfectly and I can't imagine it being really baggy and flappy as seems to have been intended. I love consignment shops too though as you say they are a bit more expensive. We have quite a lot of them here and two really nice ones not far from my home. <br /><br />I too love walking and walking by myself is a happy pleasure. I find it sort of like a meditation.<br /><br />I am having insomnia troubles tonight so although I cannot sleep my brain is not working well. I'm sure there is more I wanted to say here, but I will just finish off with saying that 3/4 profile picture of you is gorgeous!<br />xoShawna McComberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296162660865309624noreply@blogger.com
