My father-in-law feeds the birds 1953
After we kids left, my father-in-law wrote:
"Dear Kids, Do you know that it seems terribly
lonely around here already? before Sun-Down
last night every scrap of waffle and leftovers
had disappeared. So, I put out some more scraps
and this morning was a host to the usual sparrows,
the occasional blue jays, the more rare starlings,
and the even more rare cardinals. They were all
out today in full force and have been around all day,
off and on, hopefully. There is still some bread there
mixed with fat that they have not been able to negotiate.
I did put out quite a lot! I am of course missing you."
