SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER- THE SHEEP WERE BUSY









In the meantime, busy needles were clacking, with sheep knitting sweaters for winter.


And that's how it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder! It isn't just the birds who are welcome here.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.











For our international friends to translate the above photos.


 Photo 1: 

Hello Mr. Goldfinch, so nice to see you. It has been several months since we last saw you.

Thank you, it is good to be back.


Photo 2:

Did you know you have sheep in your garden? They keep saying winter is coming.


Photo 3: 

It was cooler today but it is still August. It also rained like the Dickens.

I am so confused.


Photo 4:

Did you know it takes five sheep just to make one sweater?

I didn't even know they could knit!

That's a real groaner!

    Thank ๐Ÿ˜Š you so much, dear friend ๐Ÿงก

  13. Where do the goldfinch go? I was talking to Barb yesterday and she said "I saw a goldfinch today". We will have dozens around at a time, then all of a sudden they are gone, months later, they return.....

    1. Goldfinches stay around here all year round so I read, but they will fly to where the food sources are. I'll have to start feeding them soon. The evenings have become quite fresh so the season is ready for the next one :)
