Mocking Jays

 When Melissa's children was over here, a couple of weeks ago.  They were bored as kids goes, so grandma came up with an idea.  She told them she would give them $10 if they could catch the mocking bird or any other bird in my backyard.  Mocking Jays as they started to called them. (Hungrier Games).  To work they went with the net Grandpa let them use. And traps set all over the back yard.  No luck.

 Then they wanted to know if I would give them $10 for a humming bird.  yes.  Willow had a plan just stand under the feeder and wait. She waited and almost got one.  Look close you can see it.
What about the lizards that lives there.  yes.  How about the Japanese beetles. yes, but only a $1 each.  At last they found something they could catch.  It didn't cost Grandma much that day, and they were busy all day long.
