I've never seen it much here, feeding them, but they seem to love
eating the weeds growing in the grass. I don't know if they would
prefer bread to that or not. Getting rid of the weeds seems a good
thing but their droppings make a heck of a mess..

We are staying down where I mentioned but it looks like we will start
to warm up some by next Monday, at least into the low 60's during
the day but still under 50f at night. It should be a little warmer
than that by now but it does reduce the black flies.. and usually
a cool spring means a sudden jump into hot weather, and that can kill
them off very quickly so you get a shorter season of them.

We're getting a lot of rain too, which is more annoying than the cool
weather as it limits what you can do outside. I'm doing a lot of reading.
