The robins are back, and bluebirds, too;
Meadowlarks? I've heard a few,
And yesterday I saw the flash
Of the redwing blackbird's brilliant sash.
In another month, the saucy wren
Will be chattering, telling where she has been.
Oh, praise the beat of wings in spring. . .
Instinct brings them home to sing.

To me, the garden is a doorway to other worlds; one of them, of course, is the world of birds. The garden is their dinner table, bursting with bugs and worms and succulent berries.

Bird Crackers
Peanut butter
12 saltine crackers
Bird seed
Spread peanut butter on both sides of the crackers and dip in the bird seed, completely covering the cracker. Let sit for about 15 minutes. The cracker will soften a little. Punch a hole in the top and attach a ribbon for hanging.
