Planting some herbs of my own

As soon as the greenhouses started advertising their opening for the season, I made a decision. I will not spend another summer borrowing fresh herbs from other people’s gardens. No. I’m done with that.

Sparrows and their allies are passing through

Old Sam Peabody has been stopping by lately. I normally see him every year about this time, including autumn. He’s a pleasant looking fellow with a fine disposition and the sweetest voice you’ve ever heard. Singing, you see, is his forte, and anyone hearing his medley won’t likely forget it. Yes, Old Sam Peabody is another of my favorite birds: the white-throated sparrow.
