Winters are perfect here, summers not so much. Speaking of crazy weather, I was in London July-04. Rain and sun, sun and rain, every 5 min had to take off the raincoat or put it back on. And it was soooo windy..LoL!!!

Leena Hedman in reply to KelseyD’s comment, 2 days ago
I did hold him and his brother first under my shirt, next to my heart, to get their cold little bodies warm. It usually works well with baby animals. They hear your heart beat and feel the warmth, and don’t want to give up quite yet. Once I picked up a dying baby sparrow from a pail of water, she needed to be next to my skin for hours, but she made it! =) Thank you for your lovely comment!
