Post 10 Random Facts About Yourself

[Whateverist]

Weird given that I posted no videos.

7.  I was very awkward with girls into my twenties.  Focused on relationships in my late twenties.  Now I love the company of women.


8.  Got into gardening by way of building aviaries and keeping birds.  Planting them out led to enhancing the yard for wild birds.


10. I enjoy doing things without mental narration.  A quiet head is a happy head.

7.  It's nice to hear you like the company of women.  Not all men do.

8.  That is wonderful.  Do you have hummingbirds?  Plant honeysuckle to attract hummingbirds.

9.  You are so right about that.

Actually, I've always liked the company of women.  It was hitting on them which I found awkward.  Given my mother, it was hard to believe that there was anything about sex which was appealing to women.

Hummingbirds live here year around.  One Anna's has fledged two pairs of chicks early this year, and probably more in nests I haven't found.  Actually, putting out plants of interest to birds and arranging them in ways to appeal to them is a big part of what my garden is about.  The year-round creek on the edge of our lot is a flyway for birds working their way from the hills above the  UC Berkeley campus to the bay.

These were the first chicks I spied this summer.
