Hangin’ With The Locals
I spent most of today on the patio, watching my neighbors hang out in the yard. There was a small congregation of juncos and sparrows, Carolina wren, Northern Cardinal, Red-bellied woodpeckers and those bothersome grackles.
The juncos won’t be around too much longer. Once the temps near the 80 degree mark, they’ll be heading northward, fleeing the frequently intense southern heat and humidity. If I could only convince several hundred thousand humans to go with them….
While I watched, I started drawing some mental pictures of my garden. I’ll need to move the tomatoes this year and the odd layout of the property will challenge my creativity. The property drains poorly, but I’ll make it work.
With temps for the week forecasted in the low 70′s, it’s almost time.
