Today we're going to discuss something very dear to my heart which will probably stand in stark contrast to some other things I've revealed about myself. We're going to talk about my deep love of flower gardening and bird feeding. When I was about 12, I loved it so much that my grandmother signed me up for a magazine called Birds and Blooms. To this day that is still my favorite magazine. They even printed a question I wrote in and people sent me hundreds of letters, books, and even a few birdhouses and bird feeders. I'll tell ya, gardeners are some nice people. Must have something to do with the community aspect of gardening - sharing seeds, bulbs, and starter plants.
I don't have a garden of my own right now. I wish I did. The springtime makes me itch horrible to get out there, dig in the dirt, plant some flowers and feed some birds. My neighbors all have gardens...at least I can look at theirs. Maybe I'll the chance to do something this summer, we'll see.
