It's hard to choose just one, all animals hold a fascination for me in different ways and sometimes the most fun and interesting to me are the ones everyone else walks straight past on their way to the monkeys, penguins, or whatever. St Louis Zoo sounds like a wonderfully educational place and I enjoyed your photos.

This is such an inspiring story! I know how it feels to gain weight due to depression then be depressed because you've gained weight (or vice-versa). Either way it's a vicious cycle. The good news is it CAN be conquered, and I know you're going to do it! Thank you for sharing your experience and your helpful advice and resources. I know you from Squidoo, and like an earlier poster, I loved your name too--after having struggles with depression, the thought that someone actually called herself Joyful Pamela brought me joy too! Be joyful again as you create a new you, and also find joy in knowing that you're a beautiful person at every stage in the journey.

These are entertaining, and yes I welcome black cats crossing my path too. I think here on the other side of the pond we share several of these and maybe sent them your way to begin with or adopted others from you, but another one I can think of is shoes on the table being bad luck. And don't put an umbrella up indoors. We also have the money spider thing here too, and a bird pooping on you is supposed to bring good luck though somehow I fail to see how!

I try not to waste time in life - and watching commercials is a big waste of time - so during commercials I usually do some stretching and breathing exercises. I sometimes do some soduko or just talk with my son. I honestly don't watch much tv.

Love your photos of flowers. I have several in my zazzle store (most from visiting OUR botanical garden at Powell Gardens!) and I really enjoy getting the close-ups. I found, too, that I shouldn't try to get too close to my subject as I can enlarge and crop on my computer in photoshop. This way, too, I have many options for how I want my final photo to look. I have a pretty basic Fuji 14mp camera, but it takes pretty nice photos. Keep doing the macro photos...they are so stunning! Your new fan =0)

I do not have a store, but I have been thinking about it and this discussion was helpful.

I had no idea at all that you could feed hummingbirds by hand. Very interesting article.

Tents are great for those cold wintery days. Just look for the ones that are easy to set up and take down.

Hit A Away is a good workout. At our home basketball is always #1. Thanks for sharing this.

Me too, I have a lot of fun with Google+ and I am amused how a platform which at the first glance looks so simple, it really has so much functionality. In the report Joel explains how Google+ can help our businesses, how we can brand ourselves, that is the part I like the most.

Great for the days when you don't have answer to "what's for dinner"

Yes, we also have nesting robins in the spring. Bird watching is a good medicine...

Thank you for stopping by Sylvestermouse, WordCustard & Brenda.
I sometimes feel like tarepanda too :-)

really useful information. My wife has flowers all around the perimeter of the property as well as on all sides of the house, yet there always seems to be a place for something else that somehow catches our fancy...

Looking forward to reading Joel's report. Thanks for telling us about it. So far, I am loving Google+
