One must fill the birds' bowls regularly.

Victor, because of the chances of pipes freezing, we turn the outside water off in winter, however, I do take hot water out to thaw the water in the birdbaths when they are frozen. I do try to keep them filled when it is dry and there is no water. I usually try to keep some food out. I like to see them so I do those things so they will come into my yard plus they eat a large number of bugs which protects my home and area from becoming overpopulated. Your visits are always encouraging. Sara K

It is not easy and mine is not exactly correct. I'd say go for it when you see a scene that impresses you. Thanks for the kind review. Sara K

Andrea, I don't think I entered this one. I haven't got writing a jueju, quite right yet. I thought I would try writing a few, but it taxes my brain. LOL.. Thanks for the visit. Sara K

How sad when we have no rain or too much rain... the birds still sing their songs though...

Yes, SO, in Hawaii there is flooding from too much and we are in a deficient, so they say. We usually get a lot of rain in spring though. Thanks for the visit. Sara K

Yes, we need rain and dew for all the animals and insects to be able to survive as well as mankind. I appreciate the visit and kind review. Sara K

where I am it's 104 degrees. I miss the rain. But this is observant. Bird baths, funny you should mention them. But this is a nice reminder.

Whoa!!, John, you must live close to that cluster of states out west that are having an early really bad heat wave. I saw it on TV. We are needing some rain here because we are low on getting what we need. I took some water out to add to the birdbaths. I have not turned on the outside water yet because I am not sure that we won't drop down to freezing again but pretty soon I will turn it on. Thanks for the visit. Sara K
