The shepherd lets out strings of grumbles
Aimed at litterers’ ancestors

Hi Nathalie,
Would it be OK to share this and some other of your poems/photos on my Facebook?

When it finally posted, after I clicked on your link, FB said this:

So in the end I just deleted my post. I wonder why they would suspect your blog, of all things?!
Facebook can be so strange.
shalom, Dina

Nice to be connected on FB, Nathalie, thanks!
Just FYI, when I click on your posts there, it takes me to your blog nicely, EXCEPT for the shepherd post, which gives the message
