Next Day

The glue seems to have worked, but a longer string seems to have discouraged the birds. They barely ate any seeds. Maybe the glue has some kind of smell to them that I cannot detect. Maybe it had a chance to dry fully today, and they'll eat tomorrow. Maybe they've found better digs elsewhere, or decided to migrate because the temperatures are a few degrees below normal, and the rain a few inches above normal. Who knows the mind of a sparrow? God does, and maybe someday he'll explain.
