"The early bird gets the worm,
but the second mouse gets the cheese"
Willie Nelson
Now that's a deep one from old Willie.
Spring in Seattle is a chilly, damp, gray, drawn-out affair, but compared to most of the country right now, we are warm and very green. From my desk yesterday I watched the fat robins running in and out of the hedge scratching for worms.
The yard is full of excited birds and the reason is simple: it is messy with lichen-covered trees and branches, a mossy untreated lawn filled with insects, and lots of untidy nooks and crannies for birdies to hide out.
Our thoughts go out this morning to John's brother Dan, recovering from a hospital stay. Dan has been a regular blog reader for many years. We hope you soon regain your strength and health!
