I have discovered a new contraction that has recently come into being. I have seen it used a couple of time on the KC Forum where I occasionally lurk. That contraction is "amn't", as in "I amn't using correct English in this sentence."
Interesting.

For those interested in bird watching there are two sites that I have recently become aware of. One is a blog put out by Duncraft and features interesting stories, reader's pictures and tips on bird feeding. It is put on by a retail outlet, so expect them to feature some of their products, but it still has some good stuff.
The other site is one I found thru Duncraft's blog, the Online Bird Guide, and it looks quite interesting. This allows you to search the bird database by different attributes, location, scientific name etc. It looks like it should be really handy, but I have not used it yet so don't know for sure.

We haven't had any rain in almost 3 weeks (as of Sunday). Seems like everyone else in the state got rain yesterday, but not us. Oh sure, the porch was wet so it looked like it rained, but the rain guage and the dry dirt tell a different story. So, I am still watering the vegetable garden and anywhere that I have planted stuff in the last 2 months. Anything else should be established enough, and the clay should hold enough moisture, that I shouldn't have to water. The grass lawn weeds are still green anyway.
