Why I Read Seed Catalogs

I got excited, grabbed my new camera and tripod, put on an Irish wool sweater (it's only 29 degrees Fahrenheit out), snatched a folding chair from the garage, and staked out the hanging birdseed bell. I stayed half-hidden behind a large garbage bin. I sat. I sat some more. Oh, I could hear them, but ... continue reading...
