Not much to see when looking out the window except for more leaves on the ground and in the rain puddles. a moment later I saw one of the sparrows nibbling on some dead flower. I gave him a thumb up for trying to find something eatable and went to the cupboard to get some Zwieback for him for a special treat. most of it mind you was quickly gabbled up by a squirrel though.
As long as there is some color left, I don't throw the plant away.
@espyetta I do feed a lot of birds. mostly sparrows, but we also have finches, nuthatches, chickadees. woodpeckers, in the summer blackbirds, robins and the mourning doves. oh yes, almost forgot blue jays......and many squirrels who think they're birds and try to get onto the feeders. they do get lots of seeds on the ground though, as the sparrows are messy eaters. thanks for your lovely comment, Marybeth.
