My backyard is a source of constant amusement.
From the mosquito-free throne on the back porch, I have a clear view of the bird feeders, the bird bath, and to the north the hummingbird feeder which has been placed right next to a huge pot of lantana.
As previously pondered, I will name backyard animals.
These are my two favorite cardinals. It's tough to see the female in the picture, but she's there. I named the male Bella because he seemed to show up every time I played Bella Luna by Jason Mraz.
Bella always looks like he's had a rough night. Feathers going every which direction.
Bella's mate has been named Stella Blue because she started showing up a lot more when I was playing Warren Haynes.
Rumor is that Bella is a lush and Stella Blue is the reason his feathers are always out of whack.
And the squirrels. I gave up long ago trying to keep them away from the feeders. They gotta eat too. I hang ears of corn out for them but of course they prefer the birdfood.
Their story is that they are retired synchronized swimmers.
And in other baseball news, Hank Aaron has a girlfriend.
They are very cute together.
