Well, it turned out I couldn’t leave the blogosphere after all. I’m back with a new blog, Pit’s Fritztown News. One of the reasons, if not the main one, was that I had found so many friends by blogging whom I was really missing and who liked to read about me. So, I’d be very happy if you might follow my new blog, too.
Hope to see you all there,
Pit

But only, if work is absolutely unavoidable! 😉 This picture here is not too recent [2007], and it was taken in April.

More about this picture and the action “around it” [I’m redoing our lawn] in a later posting.

After my wife looked up vutures in our “Birds of Texas” book, I believe I have to correct myself. Those birds we have in our back yard seem to look more like Black Vultures [Coragyps atratus] to me now than … Continue reading
