I don’t know if my back yard is sort of like my Field of Dreams, but I put out bird seed and the birds are beginning to come. Other than the lousy squirrels who are making a mess and shelling all the sunflowers, this is the first bird I have seen eat from the feeder. It’s also the first time I have ever seen a blue jay. Maybe it’s good luck? I bet my grandma would think so.
You’re feeding the birds! That warms my heart.
Two comments – you are becoming more like your mother every day – it must something in your Norwegian/Welsh half that makes you fascinated with having birds in your back yard. Secondly, when you were growing up I would see from time to time glimpses of what you were going to be in 5, 10 years. Now married for 2 years, approaching 30 and getting settled in your house it’s only a question of time before your yard is littered with lawn ornaments and little windmills – I can see you shuffling amongst the decorations (with an old straw hat on) spreading birdseed and talking to your feathered friends.
Hahahaha. Wow. I was literally laughing out loud. Nicely done Dad.
Ha ha!
There will be no lawn ornaments if I have any say in this matter…Rhett can have his straw hat though.
