Brought me to tears. Nature heals.<BR/><BR/>Carolina wrens are so damn smart that they don't stay in houses for more than a few minutes after you open a window for them. I helped my friend Margaret calm down and let one out just last week. I reminded her that they come in ON PURPOSE because they're curious, and they know very well what windows are, being intelligent little scraps.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there, Mary. At least you know where to turn when the going gets rough. What do nature-free people do to stay sane?
