Now I have more encouragement to just go ahead and get those scraps ready for the birdies. Is is ok to hang a basket in a tree or is that too scary I wonder? I have a virtual bird sanctuary right outside the window beside my computer...I plan to really develop it further with a birdbath, etc. Thanks for the encouragement!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174318734895460309.post-73344031171873162002008-02-23T15:37:00.000-08:002008-02-23T15:37:00.000-08:00What a sweet idea.
