For the birds

OK - you all have not been posting - so I'm forced to. I could start talking about our wonderful eggplant crop again. But then maybe you've all run down your vituperative comments already and I won't get anything stirred up. (How many of you are sure I spelled that correctly?)

SO....you get more bird news. whoa... Anyway. We had 2 BOLD pretty big blue jays visit last week. Out of the blue they came screaming for peanuts. Haven't seen one for ages. (blue jays not peanuts) They let me get very close and sat around the patio in various places waiting for their handouts. Unfortunately, I didn't have too many peanuts here 'cause I'd quit buying when they quit coming. But it was fun to see their bold sassy behavior. Today I bought peanuts - and put them out - but maybe they have given up on me. I couldn't go shop Wed cause Mont's car was out of service and he took mine.

Anyway, they are exceptionally bright blue, pretty, big jays - and so fun as they watch me out of their big eyes. They look like they just came from a blue-jay spa - 'cause they are so unblemished and fine looking.

On other bird news - Since we got home from AZ and found bird feathers all around the bird bath we have seen very few sparrows enjoying the facilities. (sniff, sniff)I think we now have a red-flag on our property - and Mom & I are often chasing a cat out of the yard. GRRR

I'll bet at least a few of you can top this blog. Give it a try.
