Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Romance at the bird-feeder this morning

I watched a fine male Cardinal grab a sunflower seed from the feeder, then jump down and put it into a female Cardinal's beak.


Must be True Love. Or True Lust...


Or is it just Springtime?

Or she nagged him close to death until she got her way and then when she got her way she still wasn't happy. Or something.

Regretted my comment immediately after I wrote it. But this is why I'm grateful that I have an unending source of forgiveness. Mea Culpa. Mea Culpa. And on Good Friday. I'm saying a prayer for my soon to be ex-wife as soon as I finish this response to my nonsense.

Sorry if I offended anyone.

B, could you help a brother out and delete the comments I put up here if that's at all possible. Sorry for being a pain...

Jappy, probably just as easy to smack me upside the head...and more sanitary, too...but I'll write it down so I don't forget.

Males are always trying to get their seed into females. I guess that's one way....
