LOVERS OF THE EARTH



Today in a supermarket in town, coming back from a job of land clearing, we stopped at a local grocers and found a few things, plus a sack of sunflower seeds since Sweetheart just can't stop feeding the birds she feeds all winter long


It is Springtime now


The bears may come for this seed if she isn't careful


At the checkout an old timer watched her buy the seed and before I packed it he asked her (and ignored me), "Are you going to eat those, or plant them?"


A gentle question


Sweetheart smiled and said, "Feed the birds"


His eyes grew in size

Bob Arnold & Sweetheart have been together an awful long time.

But nothing is longer than an old timer.
