Something tells me this is a deep one (too bad I am not too deep thinking) Anyway, I really likes it!! Do you have any poem for us lonely night owls? I don't like those early birds very much!! (sure enjoy your stuff)

Too cute Darryl. It made me smile. I do love the birds and feed them all the time. I think there is something to be read between the lines here though. am I right? God Bless, JB

an interesting write. here, in alabama, those cute squirrels hog all the seeds. Maybe the crows can shoot them. Thanks for sharing your work. Jancarl
