The staff comes out and feeds 'em peanuts (which the restaurant has, in bulk, for folks to munch on). Until I read your blog stuff several entries ago, I had no idea that they migrated this far north. But I certainly do NOT blame them for goin' back already - I wish I was goin' already, too!jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598544917785126150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-74124951186346311442010-09-15T23:59:01.732-04:002010-09-15T23:59:01.732-04:00Very nice Joan!

Rumor has it that they were released from a pet shop when a large building, next door, caught fire. Now, they hang out at a local arboretum.<br /><br />Anywho, I've been wanting to get these babies on film (so to speak) for YEARS! Maybe I can now, once I get used to the new camera's settings.J.J. in L.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14394864319127058771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-67911766659402388092010-09-14T20:30:44.481-04:002010-09-14T20:30:44.481-04:00I can't wait for the cooler weather
