7-13-10   Two days to go...

  Wild flowers are a charming addition to all the walking through fields and peering into bogs that birding entails. One wild flower that we will look for in Iceland is the Upright Lousewort (Pedicularis flammea).

  Berry came home from work and said someone at work had suggested that we do a blog of our birding trip to Iceland. That was a clever idea. Thanks to that idea-haver, whose name escapes me. Thanks too to my sister Nancy for picking up our mail and Fed Ex packages while we're gone. Thanks to two of my lovely nieces who will water my cucumbers and tomatoes during our vacation. And thanks to Meg who'll drive us to the airport...

  And thanks to the good people at the doggie spa where Cosmo will go to get groomed while we're gone.
