GOOD MORNING!

Mocking Birds! You gotta love'm

In Florida Mockingbirds are tweeting all over the place. You only need one of them in the neighborhood. They sound like a hundred different birds. Question is "who's mocking who"? Are they mocking each other? Could one Mockingbird just make something up and now all the other Mockingbirds are "false tweeting"? It's worth thinking about.

It flitters
it twitters
but boy
can it tweet!

Oh yeah . . . they're the State Bird of Florida!

You don't peel it from the stem side . . . for goodness sake . . how crude . . who does that? . . it messes the banana up.  You peel it from the other side. See above! "A picture is worth a thousand words!" I've been peeling them the new way ever since! Works great! Thought it was time to get the word out!
