I've seen your photos of fruit tacked up on tree trunks and elsewhere, and also of birds taking bites.<br />I didn't realize you do this all year.<br />But it's fun to see the birds hopping around the bird baths and mini-waterfall in the hot weather.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-2461568492809297102019-04-05T13:44:58.100-07:002019-04-05T13:44:58.100-07:00Feeding the birds happens 365 days a year, but I&#...Feeding the birds happens 365 days a year, but I'm certainly looking forward to the rest!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-392866077726098632019-04-04T18:30:25.939-07:002019-04-04T18:30:25.939-07:00Right!

I've got to get caught up. But I certainly do agree with you-- books that needed to be edited a lot more before they're introduced to the public can drive me nuts.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-81597811972187777572019-04-01T17:07:07.686-07:002019-04-01T17:07:07.686-07:00Omigod.

And I hate holding heavy books, and the books I've read by that author were too wordy, didn't have enough editing and got too bloody violent. So, I'll think about that.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-85421954162675172592019-04-01T14:17:11.028-07:002019-04-01T14:17:11.028-07:00Thanks for your input-- makes me want to read thes...Thanks for your input-- makes me want to read these even more.
