THE BIRDS and the BEES

 No, not those birds and bees.  The is about the real birds and bees, sorry.   This time of year the air is filled with birds and bees.    As I get distracted from what I should be doing, which is not hard to do, I wander off to watch all the bees in the flowering trees.  All kinds of bees, small black ones, white ones, multi colored ones and many honey bees.   Even the Mason bees are coming out of their nest boxes.  

The birds start singing as soon as the sun appears in the morning.  The Stellar Jays sit in an oak tree by the house in the early morning and talk to one another before they go off to harass other birds.  Even the buzzards are back.

Maybe a story another day about the other Birds and the Bees, the ones most of us learned about in the public library when we got distracted from our studies by those books in the reproductive health section.
