Had an appointment with Mom with morning and of course lunch afterwards. Had a quick job to do at her house and then I took the scenic route home. Once home, I got down to figuring out – are all the parts to this old bird feeder here or is it time for this to go away. And of course all the parts were there and they were coaxed back together with a little tinkering and some cable ties. While I sat there pretending I knew what I was doing, so many birds were in the trees around me and indeed – Oriole! Hummingbird! Rose-breasted Grosbeaks! Wren! Song Sparrow! Red Winged Blackbirds! Tree swallows! Woodpeckers!<\/p>\n

For my last official act of April
\nI rounded up all the parts of
\na bear-busted bird feeder
\nand found all the parts were there
\nA little undoing and redoing with
\nsome cable ties and what dad
\nwould call a lick and a promise
\nit was back together again.
\nThen found some new cord
\nto toss over the limb of
\nthe busy birch tree
\nwas it laughing at me
\nand while an oriole whistled
\nfrom high above, some orange angel
\ncome to survey this busy yard
\nI rehung it. Needs different hardware
\nso the knots are iffy
\nI sat and watched the birds
\ncome two by two and one
\nkeeping a skeptical eye on me
\nand whatever it was
\nI thought I was doing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
