What’s the symbolic, metaphysical meaning of a woodpecker pecking away at the side of your house anyway? Opportunity? (Well, at least the dog’s stopped barking every time, although I have to concede that it DOES sound like someone’s knocking on the door.) *grin* Ahhh, DA BOOK says that when a woodpecker shows up it’s about stimulating ‘new rhythm’ in your life. Cool – that fits! (Hey – I didn’t go there, why did you? 😉 )
