Edgewood Estates


 Edgewood Estates Gardening
 

Well, the flowers are blooming and my garden is coming to life! I thought with this lovely change in season I would share with you the bushes in front of my house. I am not terribly plant smart so bear with me!

(See picture below)

Right (closest) corner is a great bush I will call "banana bush". It produces delicate, banana-yellow flowers that smell like bananas- (YUM)

On the left (closest) is a pink flower bush. Don't know anything other than I really don't like it.

Left (furthest) this will produce pretty white and pink flowers that attracts every damn bee and wasp on the planet.

Center (furthest) I DO know this species.....drunk dude walking through the 'hood around midnight that decides our lawn is a great place to pass out....COLD

You get depressed after one day of foggy weather.

North means "mountains to the left;" south is "mountains to the right;"

You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels "sticky" and you notice the sky is no longer blue.

 You Know You're From Buffalo When...
 

When speaking - "the" precedes the number or name of any highway (The Scajaquada, The 33, The 290) wow I get a lot of shit for doing this now that we are in Atlanta.  Take "the" 400 south.  People look at me like I am crazy!

You have gotton frost bitten and sunburned in the same weekend

You drive over 70mph on the Thruway and pass on the right.

The rest of the country is snowbound in the worst blizzard of the century, but you still have to walk your kids to the corner to catch the school bus. This shit pissed me off.  Seven "physical" feet (no drifting included) and I still have to do what?!  This a PJ and cartoons day, man!

You think nothing of crossing an international border for Chinese Food. Or strip clubs and gambling

 The haps in Edgewood Estates.....
 

The last couple of weeks have been pretty quiet...that is until Biggie T.'s Birthday arrived.

Friends from Chattanooga were coming down and we decided to do some celebrating a bit early as a group. Headstands on pool tables with injured knees, falling out of chairs and injured hips, getting dropped by the cab on Edgewood Avenue and not Edgewood neighborhood (and walking the remaining who knows how many miles) and Cornbread's infamous "can I poop in your bathroom" around 5 am that stirred hysterical laughter were just part of the haps of celebrating.

But the 'hood. Yesterday Bear came by to see if my birds were accounted for. "yes, why?" A double yellow amazon was in a tree around the corner.



Of course my bleeding heart packed up bird pellets, bananas, broccoli and any other food I thought would bring the little guy down. No luck. The hawks have been chasing him through the 'hood since Sunday (according to eye-witness accounts). I know it would be a miracle if I actually got him to come to me but I would go nuts staying in my office wondering "what if".

I posted info on craigslist.org and got an immediate response. The guy tells me he lost several birds this weekend when a house sitter failed to close the cages properly. One was a double yellow amazon. From our initial conversation, it appears that he is a breeder of zero ability. The birds are housed in an outside room that gets heat (only) when temps drop below 40 and recently, (chuckling as we speak) he realized his "male" gray was in fact a female when he placed "him" with another female to breed.

He is going to call me when he gets to the 'hood and I offered to show him where the bird has been hanging out. If the bird comes to him (and not the rest of us out there) I would have to assume this is his bird. Will I be crying all the way home that the poor bird is going back? absolutely! But I suppose he will be with his birdie friends. The alternative is this bird won't survive long and I am sure he is scared out of his mind right now.

If only I could save the world
