9. Lovely thoughts and so true. A shovel is the quickest way to ground myself! If only weeds weren't involved!

The birds are dependent now upon my blueberries. This year they have almost wiped them out and it's only June. They are not even bothering waiting till they are ripe. I need more bushes and maybe another food source. The apples? The squirrels eat most of them along with many of the nectarines, for the most part. It isn't summer till I see a squirrel on my fence with an apple 8 times bigger than his head in his mouth. I just wish they ate the whole thing. I'm one of the few yards with a firefly population. The bees just love hosta flowers!
