SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - WHERE ARE THEY ALL?

That's supposed to be sunflower 'chips' and hearts but Camera Lady has been very proud of her long nails lately. After all these years they are longer than she has ever had. The only problem is she keeps leaving out, or typing the wrong letters. Sometimes she catches them, sometimes she doesn't. Onwards!

Not even Blessed Squirrel will eat at her table.

She is getting a bit frustrated that they won't eat her seed. She and the Mister have been going through the reasons. Old food? Nope, it's a new bag. Bird feeder smells of predatory animals, has that raccoon been by, or the fox? I haven't seen any signs of them. It's had a thorough good washing, did we rinse it well? Maybe it tastes soapy. Nope! Maybe we should put it back on the bench? Are we overthinking this? Yep!

Froggies3 have been very sympathetic. They are good froggies!

The second dove came up with a reason. Everyone is trying to help. It didn't help!

The last straw was...

No, she can't bake you brownies, human food's not good for you. This little finch could smell the one Mister brought her back as a surprise today.  She is trying to count calories but we won't go there. That brownie was the best she had tried in a donkey's age she told him. 

It had walnuts too, little finch heard the “yippee” all the way up in the trees when he gave it to her.

And that's how it goes on this Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder. Maybe by next week the flocks will return. Here's hoping! Otherwise, she might be baking brownies (no, not really).

Thanks for flying in 

and have a great weekend.

I am a little late with the dialog from the photos. My apologies to our overseas friends who enjoy a translation.

ODDS AND BODS 8/27/24

(and thank you Pinterest)

And this sweet little pooch says I hope you all slept well.

How about some pretty art to start off with?

And Buggy art!

One more!

Did you know…

I am a big believer in this. 

I am definitely this.

Today’s dream cottage,

Also this one.

In my fantasy world the bedroom would look like this.

Part of the family room would look like this.

And such a great porch. Just imagine how many birds and squirrels, raccoons and foxes would visit me in the middle of this beautiful forest.  And bears, oh my!

Almost forgot the dining room….

and the kitchen, the heart of any home.

Very true!

Here is a description of…

I love this picture of an ancient oak…

and this poem.

There are times when we all need a hug, whether we know it or not.

And as much as I adore flowers and they fill me with joy, it is important to note that…

And now for something I would like to try sometime…

A little humor! If you can put a popular tune together and fit it to the words, you may be singing it all day.  Sorry about that or you can thank me later.

I love this! So cute!

And in my fantasy world, this would be very natural. In reality not so much but it is a nice dream.

While we are on the subject of bears, isn’t this cute?  I looked for a knitting pattern without success. Maybe you clever knitters out there could figure something out.

Well, I think that’s all for now.

and

With hugs from

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER

 

And so it goes on a Saturday morning at the bird feeder. It really has been all quiet out there, but quiet is good! I can do with quiet!

Thanks for looking everyone, and have a great weekend!

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - SCREAMS IN THE NIGHT

Another bit of a saga!

because...

Flashback to the previous night...

“Take in the birdseen?” Yes it is a typo!  Mrs. was so tired today. Back to the story! 

But the Froggies3 are safe. Woman with Camera, aka the Mrs., came downstairs to see what was going on. She saw baby turn up, then his mom stopped all her caterwauling. There was silence for the rest of the night, but Woman with Camera didn't get another wink of sleep from then on.  She, however, did remember to take the birdseen, I mean birdseed, in the next night and all the nights after that.

And so it goes on another Saturday morning at the birdfeeder.
