A fellow Lulu writer! Here in Mississippi! That rocks! I'm a student at USM, English Major.

Glad you're seeing the blog and it's good to know someone up at Strawberry Plains! Yes, the picture is wonderful and must look very familiar since it's a copy of the one on the Audubon MS homepage! Lovely old house! I am familiar with the Hummingbird Festival and encourage all to go. If only it were cooler by September! By next year, I'm sure I'll be a volunteer! Thanks for letting me hear from you. Hope you'll continue to read and write to The Writer's Wife! Lin Hi, Katie. Glad you’re seeing the blog and it’s good to know someone up at Strawberry Plains!

Congratulations on your invitation to the State Board of Audubon Mississippi! It will be great to have you on board in that capacity. I like the idea of your blog -- My husband is a writer playing a PhD student at Ole Miss. It is encouraging to see writers go full-time!! I'm writing to let you know about our 10th Annual Hummingbird Migration Celebration on September 11-13 here at Strawberry Plains. We are so excited about this year's event. Of course, the regular favorites will be here: Bob Sargent, from the Hummer/Bird Study Group will be banding birds for everyone to see (some lucky folks may get a chance to hold one!) and Rob Mies will bring his bats and hopefully give some people a new perspective. In addition, we are thrilled about our special guests: Douglas Tallamy, author of Bringing Nature Home: How to Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants, will be here to talk about his book and how he believes gardeners will play a major role in wildlife management in the coming years. Miyoko Chu will be here to talk about her new book, Songbird Journeys, and the incredible migration of songbirds (she talks a lot about nighttime migration -- SO cool!). There will be guided nature walks and trailer rides throughout the 2600 acres of native plant demonstration areas, grasslands and forests. But best of all, Hummingbirds! Thousands will be here to grace our presence as they feed from the native plants, insects and sugar water feeders. So, that's it! I'm looking forward to meeting you at the next meeting or maybe at the festival. I just wanted to congratulate you and give you all the insider details about this year's celebration. Sincerely, Katie Boyle Dear Dr. Harper,

It seems you and your girls are really enjoying life these days! And, I know nothing is really easy when it comes to raising babies....you've done such a great job, Kathleen! No, nothing is as grim as my post makes it seem....our imaginations are often more fanciful and catastrophe-seeking than reality. It does all get very scary at times, though.

I enjoy your writings, yet didn't enjoy the part about cutting jobs. I enjoyed the part about loving life, laughter in the house, and working with the soil. Good stuff.

Thanks for your offer of support....the Flip (Ultra) recognizes that it is plugged into the computer(s) -- I tried many before giving up! -- but not one of the computers recognized it. It was clear that this is a problem the "technical support" have encountered before, because they automatically (well, after 3 days and MANY emails) offered me an RMA (not free shipping). Just very disappointing but it's all out of my hands now...stay tuned for more! Hi, Andy.
