Spotted one in the garden in July and that's it. I'll keep my eyes open. <br /><br />The warblers came thru earlier. I don't remember ever seeing those here before. And the gold finches are everywhere. Always exciting to see that scalloped flight of yellow!<br />Have a great Labor Day.larkspurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12809735972126556232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091482938936227290.post-15450172870034680512009-09-06T16:52:28.403-05:002009-09-06T16:52:28.403-05:00Thank you for sharing something so significant wit...Thank you for sharing something so significant with us.

Many present day labour and employment laws (the 8 hour work day for instance) originated due to the efforts of the common working man, organized labour and unions and for that I am eternally grateful!Avril Fleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139777746148763206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091482938936227290.post-40246185786205669842009-09-06T02:39:07.991-05:002009-09-06T02:39:07.991-05:00Well said!!

And seeing that picture of the loggers felling that tree sort of warms my heart. :-) I have photographs just like that, taken by my father. I was looking at the photographs just yesterday, in fact.<br /><br />Here's a bit of trivia for you. Did you know that all loggers wear suspenders? Anyone who shows up to work on a logging crew wearing a belt instead of suspenders is sent home. It's a safety thing.<br /><br />Happy Labor Day, Russell. Or as we say in Canada, Happy Labour Day. :-)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382221688268676914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091482938936227290.post-88939385688590474572009-09-05T21:48:28.075-05:002009-09-05T21:48:28.075-05:00Labor Day is one of my busiest WORKING days...I...Labor Day is one of my busiest WORKING days...I've always felt a bit cheated that way, but I do get over it.
