Today starts “summer,” to me!

Mar 16th Today starts “summer,” to me!

Today was a very good day to be outside! If this kind of weather will – now only continue for the rest of the year – it will be as if we all died and went to Heaven! It is just beautiful out – these are the kind of days we all LOVE so much – since there are so many things that need our attention – since the “Winter” was pretty hard on some of the areas in the northern areas – so if we can have this wonderful weather to continue – all kinds of outside projects can be done – NOW – before it becomes too HOT!

I’ll bet you have not been outside of your house, today– and so you just have not had any FUN outside? The first thing that I did this morning was to open the doors and just let the wonderful day’s music start coming on in. The birds all have such beautiful songs that they like to sing – and they especially like to come and sit on the porch rail and just do – that which comes naturally – and that is to sing to me. They know that if they will get my attention early – then they will be the first to – for sure get the first of the bird seed – that I will put out, just for them!

There are “Blue-Jays” in two different trees on our property and a large colony of “Cardinals” who have a crew of “scouter” birds that come and “chirp” and “tweet” in their sweet and pleasant tones – “Where’s the Beef?” It is really “FUN” and quite “comical” to watch what action some of these birds – start performing in the early hours of the day – just to get me to hurry up and get the “feed” bag on the road!

Some of the antics that different birds have – is just for me to know “who is who” – and they are letting me know – that they just don’t have all day to play around, here – that, they want something to start their day off – and then they have other – maybe even more important places to stop and pick up something special to take “HOME” to their babies! It seems to me that each bird has special assignments and routes to take and special messages to leave at all of their daily- drop-off -places. They are busier than a cat covering it up! The “Blue-Jays” seem to be the “POLICE” agents – and – they take care of all of the “warnings” of a “CAT” in the range of their territory – and their special “call” is very distinct – to all the young birds – those not knowing that “DANGER” is slowly approaching – watch out – the “CAT” is looking for “FOOD” – too – and that “CAT” does – Love – fresh and warm and young bird meat – the easy to catch ones are their first pick.

“It’s a jungle out there” – it is right up and against the “Sunset Park” – so there are all kinds of beautiful birds that like to stop by – especially when they see “DIN DIN” free and available for all those who have the time to “fly by and take- off ” with something for the family – back at the nest. There were some larger birds that came by when I put out some “Chips” on the picnic table in a bright colored tray – these birds – were large enough to carry off large pieces of chips and come back for more – guess they knew these chips had “CORN” in them – as I thought that the “DEER” would get the smell and stop by – as the “DEER” like the corn so much – and they just don’t get “CORN” as often as they would like, Too???
