The Chickadees and Rhubarb

I’m really sorry to say that I haven’t seen any chickadee activity the past few days. Actually, there have been no birds in the cranberry bush AT ALL! What’s going on? I sure don’t know but I think it might be my fault.

We moved the bird feeders to see if the other birds would go away and leave the chickadees alone to make their little home. Well, maybe the chickadees LIKED having the other birds around.

Someone who knows a lot about birds said that chickadees usually don’t nest in a birdhouse. Maybe they decided to build their little home on a branch in a tree. Maybe, maybe, maybe…guess I’ll never know. But I’ll keep watching for them.

I’ve been working like a madman the past couple of days on my Squidoo stuff. Just posted two new pages at midnight, last night. All about rhubarb…well, not ALL about rhubarb…one is on rhubarb pie and the other on a bunch of other things you can make with rhubarb. I’ve got tons more to add but this is a start.

Here are the links: Rhubarb Pie – 3 Great Recipes and Rhubarb Muffins, Cakes, Sauces & More.

I’ve also decided to donate any earnings from the My Quest For A Greener Life lens to the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AIDS Foundation. That’s the terrific thing about Squidoo. If you earn any money from your pages you can choose to donate it to a charity. I probably won’t make a million bucks but every little bit will help, I think. I’m probably also going to convert the Chocolate Chip Cookie page to charity, as well. I’m going to check that out, today.

I’ve decided to create another blog, too. Hopefully, in the next week or so. It’ll be quite a bit different from this blog. Will keep you posted.

Well, I promised Jack and myself that I would, by-hook-or-by-crook work in the gardens. First, I’m going to plant the flowers he gave me for Mother’s Day and the packet of Texas Wildflower seeds that I bought when we were in Dallas. It’s sunny and warm – going to be 74 degrees F. Got to get out there and enjoy our very brief summer!
