Carrots and finches gone wild

I dug up my carrots and found that I had more than I thought...although most were small because of all the hot ,dry weather here this year. I had a four by four area or so in one of the raised beds that I planted. Man are they hard to keep free from weeds! What a mess I had but we still did pretty good. If I had taken better care of them I could have doubled my crop. Ginny peeled and then cut them up to be blanched and frozen. And they are good too!
The finches have been nuts lately . They must be getting ready to leave. So far the record is about 30 on the feeder at once! We have this feeder outside of our kitchen window and love watching and listening to them. One of life little pleasures. Finch feed is getting to be one of our major expenses.
