They remind me a little of Bella in appearance.<BR/><BR/>Buying local is good in so many ways. We've begun to think about it more often and are pleased with our finds!<BR/><BR/>Albina house sparrow?

Leucistic, not albino.

We have a butcher shop nearby that sources drug- and hormone-free humanely raised beef, pork, poultry, lamb, elk(!), goat (eek), eggs and dairy products from an Old Order Mennonite community about 100 miles away. Now they've also ventured into the land of fresh produce, baked goods, and preserves from that same community. And fish from a local First Nation. What a gift to have this in the middle of Toronto!littleorangeguyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12654738679277701610noreply@blogger.com
