I was out walking with my girlfriend S on a perfect summer day this past weekend. She pointed out these wild strawberries growing by the roadside and assured me I could taste one which I did! It was delicious, maybe a bit on the tart side.
Yesterday morning, daughter L was eating her breakfast in the kitchen and heard a strange, loud thud coming from the family room. Then this bird hit the ground hard, landing on the patio stones outside. It had obviously crashed into a window. L said its body shuddered for a few seconds then it was dead. I was quite upset when husband M pointed out the body. It must have happened so quickly. I found some small suction hooks at the dollar store and hung these snowflake ornaments I had onto them and pressed one onto each window. It should warn the birds that is a glass window.
