We feed the birds and squirrels around here in a variety of places, but mostly the same way—we toss a no-waste blend of birdseed and other nuts and seeds onto the ground. This way, everybody gets to eat. Bit birds, little birds and birdy-birds (those are the little ones that I don’t always recognize. Some are Snow Birds or Junos). We toss some peanuts out there, too. Starlings, Flickers, Blue Jays and of course the squirrels all eat peanuts.
After the snowstorm, there was no place to put the bird seed. So, when I cleared a path for the mailman, I cleared a large area in front of the porch for the birds. I think this made an impression, although I’m not sure it’s the one I was hoping for. If you look up at the featured image, I think the conversation is going like this:
“I told you. The busboy cleared the table and then the waitress brought us this nice spread.”
One-Liner Wednesday by Linda G. Hill
As I mentioned on Monday, my Story Chat contribution went live yesterday at Marsha Ingrao’s place.
















All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
