THE BIRDS

In the usually sunny and warm state of California, many birds come to enjoy the mild winter. This past week has seen temperatures in the 20's and 30's and even the birds have had a difficult time. I went to a unique store called Wild Birds Unlimited (that should tell you right there what is coming) I bought a little bag of this and a small package of that and promptly came home and placed it outside. Within minutes, there were hundreds of birds calling, arguing and flittering. I have never seen so many birds. Now, each morning, I am greeted by a few hundred of my best friends waiting to eat. They are an impressive group and even my cats are afraid. I think one of my children told me I couldn't be mother nature......I'll just feed them til the food is gone.
