For the Bird$

I bought some birdfeed.  Just some peanuts and a packet of suet.  This cost me $12.50.  A lot of money considering my current budget.

But while gardening yesterday I noticed a male cardinal hopping around my empty feeders.  And then it perched on the edge of the roof for several minutes, tilting it’s head around as if to say, “Seriously?  There’s nothing?  C’mon, seriously?”   It had been weeks since I had any feed to put out.  There’s been news about people not being able to afford to feed their pets since the economic downturn, but nothing about whether people can afford to fill their birdfeeders.

At least the hummingbirds won’t go hungry.  Nector can be made cheaply.  I saw my first one this evening.
