    Thank you for teaching me about pineapple lilies–I had never heard of them before. And wow, laulau, your smoke was really bad. I’m jealous of your goldfinches and quail. I only seem to see the goldfinches in the spring, but I also know their plumage changes when they’re out of mating season. I’ve been known to run for treats too. ;-P

      Haha… I run for treats, too…. but do we moo? LOL. The Goldfinches look pretty bland when it’s not breeding season… kinda speckled, in a way. I was amazed to find the pineapple lily and just had to get it!
