Although I think some of the plants which will be trying to come through the carpet of dead vegetation will be a little peeved if I don't tidy up soon.<br /><br />James - I have a way with planting live sticks which become dead ones.<br /><br />NG - I should have kept quiet. Yes, indeed - a deliberate lifestyle choice. That's exactly what it was.<br /><br />Kate - long live the dead stick! So to speak.<br /><br />Esther - I would love a sparrow to visit. We never have them, and I do like a cheeky sparrow about the place.<br /><br />Janet - Ah yes - foresight, Of course.

They preferred rose hips. There's not one single peck out of it. How lucky you are to have such a variety of birds visiting. I get excited if there's a sparrow!<br /><br />EstherEsther Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412078991551799972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33750459.post-84605379585368889662011-01-03T16:57:47.347+00:002011-01-03T16:57:47.347+00:00Ha!
