SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD-FEEDER/BIRD BATH

 As the tale continues, the goldfinch is a bit lonely, but at least he has the company of the water nymph and the copper bugs and turtle...  

...and the American Robin turned up later

He was a bit fussy though. They had to remind him that it's still too early for she of the house to put birdseed out. There is still a lot of natural food left everywhere, and the worms are plentiful. They had to remind Robin everyone was trying to stay fit and healthy, and that he ought to get some exercise by digging for them himself. She of the house would help but she's got a thing about touching worms.

You can't please everyone. Even the water nymph looked a bit exasperated with Robin.

And that's how it goes on a Saturday Morning near the empty bird feeder.

Thanks for looking at another tale of whimsy.

Have a great weekend and I hope all is going well in your part of the world.

For our overseas friends to translate the photos above.

Photo 1:

"I don't think anyone if going to come until she of the house starts feeding the birds again."

Photo 2:

"I am an introvert and I am happy with that."

"Me too, I have seen how crowded those pools can be."

"She's resorted to telling jokes again."

"Oh boy!"

Photo 3:

"I hear you have worms."

Photo 4:

"Five-star bird bath but I am deducting one star for the lack of worms."

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - A CARD FROM ANN

I can pull the flowers out of the plant pot to share Ann's message. All the birds in the trees agree, Camera Lady is a very lucky lady to have a good friend like Ann, who is so kind and generous to send a beautiful card that pops into her letterbox every month. 

Thank you Ann, always enjoyed, always displayed where everyone can see your lovely card. And thank you for being such a dear friend!

Love and hugs,

Denise xox

For friends from overseas, these are what I put on this week's bird chatter photos.

 What is this? It is very pretty, a card full of flowers.

It's from Camera Lady's friend Ann. She always does a happy dance when one arrives. That's her skipping down to the mailbox. If she could skip that is.

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - THERE ARE TIMES WHEN...

 

Not exactly word of the day but an expression that comes to my mind right now. 

Thank you for visiting everyone and I hope your weekend goes well. 

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - TOTALLY, TOTALLY…

And that's how it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Birdfeeder. Totally Squirrelly!

Thanks for flying in and don't forget to keep your feathers from sticking. Stay away from that 'vel-crow'...

and have a great weekend!

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - ROCKIN' WHO?

If you want to hear the original version of Rockin' Robin, there's a great YouTube at this link.

The full lyrics are below, with thanks to all the good little birdies rockin' in the treetops.

Rockin’ Robin lyrics

Our key: Overtones

Other versions to check out: Bobby Day (arr. based on this one), Michael Jackson

Intro

Verse 1

He rocks in the treetops all day long, hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song

All the little birds on Jaybird Street love to hear the robin go tweet-tweet-tweet

Chorus

Rockin' robin, Rock-rock-rockin' robin'

Go rockin' robin 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight

Verse 2

Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee, every little bird in the tall oak tree

The wise old owl, the big black crow flappin' their wings singin' "go bird, go"

Chorus

Rockin' robin, Rock-rock-rockin' robin'

Go rockin' robin 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight

Bridge

Well, the pretty little raven at the bird bandstand taught him how to do the bop and it was grand

They started going steady and bless my soul, he out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole

Verse 3 (same as 1)

He rocks in the treetops all day long hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song

All the little birds on Jaybird Street love to hear the robin go tweet-tweet-tweet

Chorus

Rockin' robin, Rock-rock-rockin' robin'

Go rockin' robin 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight

Bridge

Well, the pretty little raven at the bird bandstand taught him how to do the bop and it was grand

They started going steady and bless my soul he out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole

KEY CHANGE

He out bopped-the buzzard and the oriole

Verse 4 (same as 1)

He rocks in the treetops all day long hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song

All the little birds on Jaybird Street love to hear the robin go tweet-tweet-tweet

Chorus

Rockin' robin, Rock-rock-rockin' robin'

Go rockin' robin 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight

Outro (like intro)

And that's the way it is on a 

Saturday Morning at the Birdfeeder!

Thanks for flying in 

and have a great weekend!

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - SARDINE PIE?

 

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - OH THOSE LITTLE SCALLYWAGS!

 

Camera Lady said the bang was when the Kissing Bunnies went flying off the bottom part of the bench. She saw they were missing when the scallywags were doing a twirl around the inside of the seed tray trying to find some seeds, but there was no way she was going to go outside to investigate. Happily, the Froggies3 were untouched! Well, she said the Kissing Bunnies would have to fend for themselves until daylight. Fortunately, and she thought this would be so, the bunnies were found upside down behind the big plant pot about two feet away from their original position. Those raccoons have muscles! No harm came to her bunnies, as she made sure that anything she buys now is made of metal. They can fly to the moon and they would be okay.

Camera Lady filled the seed tray this morning. Raccoons are safely asleep in their den.

HAPPY EASTER!

 

This pretty card was sent to me from our dear friend Ann from Ann's Snap Edit Scrap. The little yellow Easter Egg came with it too, a sweet bonus to find when opening the card itself.

A perfect way to start this post.  

I love it, thank you Ann, and such a sweet sentiment!

I didn't realize when I got my post ready last week, and said I was going to let you know where we went to, that today would be Easter. I was going to share Ann's Easter card on its own, to give it pride of place. However, and not to go back on my word, here are a few photos taken. I will go into more detail next week.

We are at the Turning Point Suffragist Memorial in Lorton, Virgina, not too far from Occoquan.

The birds were being taken care of here. I saw more birdhouses nearby, and here is one of them.

Gregg took two lovely photos, of this Mockingbird...

and an American Robin. The robins are everywhere right now.

I will end my post for now and give you more on another day next week, with more information. This is just a little preview.

Happy Easter to you all, and thanks again Ann.

Have a wonderful day everyone!
