And Now, A Word From Our Sponsors...

So, our major client (Nick in Carroll Gardens--we continue to love you!) is really into birds. He really loves the birds. (And why not?) Many feeders, lots of seed, and they do come in droves. Hoping to encourage more feathered friends to stop by his garden, we planted some shrubs and other goodies this season over at his place. (Researching how to do that was actually very enlightening: shelter, food, water is the killer combo.)

Anyway, he inspired us. We thought--"Why don't we have any birdy stuff?" So, thanks to an Amazon gift certificate from Ed and Alaine O'Connor (full disclosure: dad and step-mom) we acquired some lovely birdy accessories: a bird feeder and birdbath. I love them, and the birds have already found their way to these items. (Watching birds is actually very relaxing--who knew? And seeing a bird take a drinky drink from a little birdbath one has set out is actually very rewarding! Who knew, once again.)

For all of YOU who are inspired: for some reason all of the Strathmore brand of garden goods (what I bought) at Amazon are deeply discounted right now--many with free shipping! Cheap but classy, and classic looking! Lean & Green!
