Crabgrass Seeds

Do you have crabgrass going to seed? Does your spouse complain about the seeds on the walkway or pool deck? Just tell them that you are feeding the beds! The doves and wrens do a good job of picking up the seeds as the feed. (I know these things from experience!!).

Happy Birds

Last week my friend, Kathy, mentioned how happy the birds sounded. This morning as I layed in bed trying to go back to sleep after one of my cats wanted out at 5:30, I could hear the birds singing and chirping, making a quite a lot of "happy" noise! Then, I remembered this little poem that came to me early one summer morning last year, just as the birds were waking up:

Morning Birds
Early, one lone bird
Sings, soon joined by another;
Then joyous riot!
