Behind Juniper Beneath

"Lay" versus "lie"...I had to look it up. You lay an object, you lie yourself down. Click here for Grammar Girl. Please comment if I still used them incorrectly.

  2. Thanks Magyar. I notice and identify every bird song, every small movement, it's my job to. The person I was hiking with never saw the coyote.

    I just started thinking about writing a nature book about all the jobs I've had. I might start a blog first to see how people like it.
