Things are happening fast in our gardens. When sunny days give way to nighttime rains, it is sheer perfection for everyone and thing concerned. Plants thrive; veggies peak; and I don't have to water. So, during a leisurely stroll this morning, I harvested a few of Konrad's babies and some green chives. Just a few feet away, a Slate-Colored Junco awaited my departure. He was angrily chirping through closed beak, hanging onto breakfast food for the recently-hatched babies. They reside somewhat precariously in a low shrub, next to our patio. I hope to see first flights, after mama and papa fatten them to perfection.
