My first blog. Exciting. It’s gray outside, but the berries on my nandina plant tell me spring isn’t far away and I can soon get out into the garden. Robert put up a bird feeder again, even though we’ve been warned it could attract rats. Since we’ve only seen one rat in the fourteen years we’ve lived here–and that one was dead–we’ll take that chance. Besides, we have many visiting cats, who act as if we’ve hired them to keep guard. Nothing like seeing birds stop at the bird feeder on their way to more exotic places.
