The Skull Reef project sounds interesting. Will consider it. Thanks for dropping in everyone.

A happy family life is rare, perhaps like in the death of the bird looking like a damaged angel, in our time. Looks like you have a great family together. And arrogance seems it has little place here.

Ah yes, the yucky stories pahse. Have they gone through the ghoulish story phase already too? You know, when they suddenly seem almost disturbingly enamored of ghost stories?
Went through both in my boyhood years lo these many years ago.
And yet, I don’t find it surprising that they buried the bird and put flowers on the little grave too. Both kids and adults are often facinated and talk about yucky, scary or outright bad stuff, but when it comes down to it we usually try to do the right thing. And tend to be more sentimental than we let on.

By the way, the skull and crossbones flag sounds like an awesome idea. ^_^
If you for some reason want to get the kids, alternatively your husband and the kids, out of the house for a while for some reason, ask them to set up a pole at the shallow spot (in the water, if the bottom is soft enough to hammer one down) with a Jolly Roger tied to it.
Then they can name it some suitably piratical name, D�skallerevet/Skull reef, or something like that as the icing on the cake.

Hej Julie,
Sorry to hear that your wild bird has died. But such is the circle of life I guess. Thanks for your stories. )♥
