Random fall photo

Today I joined this
thing that Kate introduced me to and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it goes for me. I don't spend that much time on here, so it may not be up til the following week. And I have to get my computer up at home running on the internet so that I can scan things or take pics and don't have to come to my mom's house everytime I want to post a pic or something fun.
Speaking of fun things and photos and what not. I was reminded the other day while sitting at my bar hearing people speak about bird houses, of this picture.

?

How many bird houses does one need? How much $ are you actually spending feeding the birds? Can you count and see how many you can find in the picture? "Feed the birds, topins a bag, topins, topins, topins a bag." Now that I think about it, what the hell does that mean? I understood the part in Mary Poppins trying to teach Michael about money and perhaps about poverty. Shiza...I haven't a damned clue. Please someone explain this maddness and THIS MADDNESS to me. geeesh....
The only thing I see is that they rythme. Topins/Poppins Is that even how you spell those blasted words?
I took this on a fall afternoon when the leaves were perfect and I had the day off...But, seriously, it's a house down the street from where I grew up in Cary. The picture doesn't even do it justice. There were SO many bird houses in these 2 trees. I wondered if they were trying to become their own personal Nature Conserveratory. And then my friend Jay pointed something out to me. Another view point....of those thinking they are doing so many things to help the wild. Or maybe not everyone, but perhaps his father.
POINT: If you are setting up Natural Habitats and are bringing prairie birds over into your habitat, what is going to happen to the prairie? Is it really a natural habitat? Or are you just attracting them away from what's really good for them? I don't know...it just sounded good and on topic.

So, that was comical. My post began with a fun new thing, the middle was about some random ass stuff and the end...oh the end. What shall we end with today? Boys and girls, what shall we end with?

It's amazing what 10 pushups a night will do for your pectoral muscles that haven't been worked on for at least 4 months.
