Them Birds Are in Your Garden and Other Vignettes

About the Book

Birds in your garden may eat a little of your hoped for harvest, but they will not eat you out of house and home. There are always obstacles that interfere with plans and desires but we tend to manage them, especially as we attempt to achieve or goals in life. , This book is dedicated to Wilbur Chambers, who celebrated his one hundredth birthday on June 28, 2013; He certainly faced many challenges as he made it to the century mark as a successful teacher, artist and friend. . It is also dedicated to my friend Nelson Rivera who managed to overcome many problems on his way to become a very successful bilingual teacher. We have all watched those birds in our gardens and generally we have wished them well.
