I often just go out and look at the now-abandoned nests, thinking back to the alarms from the birds as I or cats are about in my yard. Long ago I would take the nests from the low branches of bushes and my friends who owned gift shops would pay good money for them. Climbing even a ladder was out. Nests had to be in reach as I stood on the ground. <br /><br />It is intriguing to see what materials birds use in their nests.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-43854917907254676752014-12-11T00:49:35.548-06:002014-12-11T00:49:35.548-06:00That's ALWAYS a good day, ha.

I bet they are different varieiteis. Him, that makes me think I should go label them (even if just as "yellow fall leaf" "green fall leaf") so that I can eventually figure out the variety of mesquite. Thanks for the idea!1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-58473257070669650352014-12-11T00:47:14.986-06:002014-12-11T00:47:14.986-06:00Yes, definitely.

Heck, if I Winter isn't TOO cold at times, I will be using the mower with the cart to do some projects around the property. Take advantage of cool weather, cause we know it ain't happening in the Summer, ha.1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-31296857411781075742014-12-11T00:45:15.005-06:002014-12-11T00:45:15.005-06:00Thank you!

I love the large mown areas - they are invitations for some great walking and exploring. <br />I wonder if ‘Ginger’ is a different species of mesquite with that lovely yellow color. <br />I love the surprises to be found in trees after their leaves drop, like that bird nest. You might even find your bird-stolen glove now!Texas Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547037404676565726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-30978434654461056972014-12-10T18:24:39.984-06:002014-12-10T18:24:39.984-06:00Don't forget to put Sta-Bil in your mower, if ...Don't forget to put Sta-Bil in your mower, if you have any gas it the tank. Crank it at least once or twice over the winter. Just like you would for a generator.
