Ho...I love that your parakeets were all Petes, too! How funny! I do feel fortunate to still go back to my childhood home... except when I lived there, it was full of Beagles and we hardly had any trees. Now that I think of it, we did have a big honeysuckle vine and a passion flower vine, though, and one year I had a tall row of sunflowers. Guess it's always been pretty special!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074104063769255190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7904018736877935929.post-79624824227923423992012-05-02T16:30:27.359-05:002012-05-02T16:30:27.359-05:00They do!
