Critters in My Garden
As spring comes into its own, the birds are in abundance. As I walk by, the beds begin to flutter. I imagine they're beginning to think about mating. I put out a cage of nesting material. I use raffia, excelsior, dryer lint and even a little yarn for color. They say you can use pet hair, but I haven't tried that. I'm thrilled that the bluebirds have moved into my stone birdhouses. My gardener is good at spotting active nests and careful not to disturb them.
