SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - SPIKE IS BACK


One spoiled little bird said "Nuh-uh!"

Unlike my little friend here who loves his birdseed.



and true to her word...



You never know birdies!

Not sure how long the snow is going to last. There will be 60 mile per hour winds so I hear, sometime in the middle of the night. Stay safe everyone!



Of course, putting the kettle on right now. And the mixing bowl is out. Just put the oven on to bake those cookies you like. Come on in, pull up a chair!


on a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.

Thanks for visiting and 
I wish you all a great weekend.

"No more frosty frapes?  Disappointing!"

I am not hanging out for just birdseed. I am out of here."

"Hello! I am Spike. The black box lady worries about me because I have no fur on my tail."

Photo 5:
"I am going to make sure you are taken care of my little friend."

Photo 6:
"I am a little embarrassed but she means well."

Photo 7:
"Will she get an outfit for us or are we safe?"

Photo 8:
"It has started to snow again and it is going to get very windy. I think we ought to get back to our nests."

Photo 9:
"We will be okay."
"Yes we know, you've got your love to keep you warm. Cue role of eyes"

Photo 10:
"All I need is a hot cup of tea, and can you make me some acorn cookies? You can have this one. I will share."

"That's how it goes..."

  3. Cute birds and captions! The squirrel missing fur on it's tail is a little strange.

    1. Thank you Eileen :) and I have never seen a squirrel without fur on its tail before. I looked what might be the reasons and I will share that sometime. You take care also. We heard a tree had come down a couple of miles away but we're not seeing the wind yet.

    1. Thank you Ananka. There are several reasons given which might be the reason for Spike's hairless tail. I'll share some of them soon :)

  6. Oh my gosh, the outfit on the squirrel is too cute. That will surely keep him warm. I don't know why the birds wouldn't want a warm winter outfit as well. Their loss.

  9. Denise what a fun fun time around the back yard. OMB's they are lucky there is seed in the feeders. I filled mine up before today's predicted arctic blast with 40mph winds.
    I adore the little squirrel's winter AI attire well done
    Hugs Cecilia

    1. Yuck Cecilia, sounds like you're going to be getting a dose of more bad weather too. We're still waiting to see if it comes. Thought it was last night and it was a bit windy but not as bad as we thought. It's supposed to get windy tonight, so we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed. Glad you liked the squirrel's winter AI attire. Amazing what they can do I have to say. Hugs, Denise

  11. Spike looks pretty comfortable in his knits! It is cool that you have a squirrel that you can identify from the others.

    1. Thanks Jim and I agree. He always delights me when he comes to the feeder. Maybe it's an age thing. At least my husband thinks so because he's enjoying them too, lol!

  14. Your squirrel is so cute! I cleared a path to my birdfeeders earlier this week and they’re out there munching away in spite of the cold wind.

    1. He is a cute one :) We had a lot of birds at our feeder. I'm wondering if they know the bad weather is coming again and are stocking up to wait it out later.

  15. I have never seen a squirrel with a tail like this! The little outfit you gave him is hilarious, especially the tail covering! What do you think happened to him? I hope you stay safe in the windstorm! Let me know afterward how it all went and if you got any damage. Of course we are to get the same thing, as we do not live that far away from you.

    1. I haven't either and glad you liked his outfit. It gave me a chuckle with it was put together. I am not sure what happened, but I have been online and a few reasons were given. Thankfully he is not in any discomfort. You stay safe too. I'll be checking in to see if all is well with you out there :)

    1. Happy you thought so Sandie, thank you :) Hopefully you will miss any snow this winter.

  17. Oh my, Spike really knows how to make an entrance! I love how each little bird has its personality, do you ever talk to them while they’re eating, or do you just let them do their thing? That wind sounds wild; stay cozy and safe! I hope your weekend is filled with warm tea and delicious acorn cookies. Visit www.melodyjacob.com to view the new travel post I just shared.
