We see both black and turkey vultures in my neighborhood, but they don't seem to land on nearby roofs. <BR/><BR/>At our previous house we'd see the vultures when the sun came out after a rain, perched on the roof of our neighbor's house, spreading and shaking their wings to dry. <BR/><BR/>Nice appreciation for those who keep the power working, too. <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915750954797799322.post-36870145995816939492008-11-10T22:10:00.000-06:002008-11-10T22:10:00.000-06:00L.

No, I'll "think positive" and imagine that he was admiring the garden instead. You're right about power company people. They not often recognized for the great service they render.
