SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER....REALLY?

Build it and they will come they said, or in this case buy it and the same thing will happen. Really?

 

This is for our overseas friends so they translate using the widget on the side bar.

"I don't know what this is over there but the squirrels seem very interested."

Photo 2:

"I am not going anywhere near it. It is too loud and gurgly."

"Scary!"

Photo 3:

Camera Lady is not happy we are not interested yet, but there is one thing she is happy about."

"What's that?"

Photo 4: 

"It has a live feed and a bump outside woke her up. She thought it was those naughty raccoons."

Photo 5:

"We heard it too. We were sleeping up in the trees."

"There was no one there but she noticed something else."

Photo 6:

"She saw that she had left the light on in the garage and turned it off right away. She is still patiently waiting for us to use the birdbath."

Photo 7:

"She says she is going to do cartwheels across the deck when that day arrives."

"That is definitely not a good idea."

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - BIRDWATCHING?

 

The pair of Tufted Titmice had their own opinions on the matter.

That's how it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Birdfeeder, where imagination is a fine thing, and being away with the fairies is a fun place to be. The inner child will thank us. 

I hope my latest touch of whimsy gave you a smile.

Thanks for flying in and 

may your weekend be a great one, 

whichever planet you are living on.

"He's birdwatching."

Photo 2: 

"We have a visitor."

"???"

"Does anyone think he looks a bit like us, maybe a little more green?"

Photo 3:

"Thank you for making me welcome. The scone was very nice."

"You come in peace. You will always be very welcome."

Photo 4:

"I think the Mrs is away with the fairies again."

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - A VISITOR!

The Froggies cousin was visiting from across the other side of the pond. No, not THAT big pond, the one at the garden. He hitched a ride home in the pocket of the mister of the house and hopped down onto the bird feeder as soon as he could. 

The froggies, at the pond couldn't be seen but were heard. They were very noisy and very chirpy to have such nice weather. Froggy 4 decided to join his cousins for a few hours. He recognized the mister as he liked to read blogs and saw his picture one day. That's how he knew whose pocket to jump into.

He was still very noisy and monopolized the conversation, but they didn't mind. Everyone was very happy to have him visit. Out came the best China, the kettle was put on and the teapot was filled with their favorite brew. They had endless cuppas and scones, but someone forgot to buy the clotted cream and jam. No clotted cream and jam for the scones? The horror! That's okay, Cappy the Catbird was very happy to be invited.

The Robins came by later when all was quiet and they missed the party, but there was always a kettle to put on.

 Out came the favorite brew from the cupboard, more happy talking took place. The sun was going down by the time they left. They had a long journey to get back to that fourth tree on the right, at least in Robin steps.

That's how it goes at this week's Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.

Thanks for flying in and 

hope your wings aren't too tired.

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER ON 4-25-26 - NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH

Yes, Froggies3 are the new co-Captains of the Neighborhood Watch. They stood in line to volunteer and look out for the safety of all the birds that visit our garden and beyond. A big thank you to Froggies3, and all the volunteers out there who help their communities. 

And that's how it goes on 

a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder. 

Wishing you all a great weekend.

and thanks for stopping by!

"Any dog visitors lately?"

"Any cats?"

"No, no and no! We are the neighborhood watch."

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - CUPCAKE?

  

That's an old groaner, even the house finch is flinching.

In the imagination of 'she of the house', the cupcake is made of all good things that the birds like to eat.

That's how it goes on a Saturday morning at the bird feeder.

Have a great day, thanks for visiting

 and from the both of us, 

a big thank you!

Photo: "What's this?" 

"She of the house said it was the Mister's birthday."

"How many candles on his cake?"

"She didn't say but I noticed she had the fire extinguisher nearby."

Bird: "The Mr and Mrs want to thank you all for the 

birthday wishes for Mr's Birthday."

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER…WHO IS THAT BEHIND ME.

 

The birds thought all they had to do was sing for their supper. They did not realize they would have to pick up a broom and clean up too.

And that's how it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.

Have a great weekend everyone

and thanks for flying in.

"What is going on and who is that behind me?"

"That is Buddy Blue Jay. Someone is bored, they are adding stuff."

"She must be happy there is no snow on the deck."

"She is not happy at all the dirt it left behind."

"Oh boy!"

"Shhhh....don't tell her snow is forecast for Monday."

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!

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - IT STOPPED RAINING

I have felt a little under the weather and have taken a blog break for a few days. These few posts have been set up beforehand.  I will be back sometime next week.

And that’s how it goes on a 

Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder. 

Thanks for stopping by

and have a great weekend.

For our overseas friends, a transcript for the translation button on my side bar:

1st Photo: rainy day on our deck.

2nd Photo: Sophie Squirrel: "I am happy it stopped raining so hard."

Daphne Dove: "You won't have to cover your head with your tail."

3rd Photo: Froggie 3: "I thought we were going to float away."

Daphne Dove: "I have ordered water wings for us all."

Sophie Squirrel: "For me too? I am not part of your family. I don't expect you to include me."

Daphney Dove: "You too! We live on the same blue dot. Carl Sagan said that. As far as I am concerned, we are all related."

Carl Sagan's story of the Pale Blue Dot can be found here.

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - ARE YOUR FEATHERS STAYING DRY?

 

"I have never seen a banana couch before" they said. "She has some very interesting furniture!" ("She has a lot of interesting things in her imagination," she said.)

Camera lady is cleaning the closets and drawers out this week. She came across Thinhorn while looking for things to discard. She found him on vacation years ago and couldn't part with him. He was a reminder of a lovely time, so now he's part of our Saturday Morning family. He will be popping up every now and again.

Thinhorn was delighted to be so warmly welcomed. He knew he was going to be very happy here.

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

Thanks for flying in.

I hope you're hanging in there and 

your feathers are staying dry.

Have a great weekend!

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - SORT OF!

After discussing this with their 100 other family members on the roof, they all flew off and visited their raven cousins in the southwest. It was a bit of a surprise but who wouldn't be with 100 family members suddenly turning up? Crows don't have cell phones! In the meantime, a few days later...

Oh Sofie Squirrel, you look like you are auditioning for a new Conehead movie. 

They are also getting ready for the Conehead audition, at least their umbrella is. It all depends if it freezes or if the snow melts.

We're all glad it stopped snowing. Sofie is still clutching her pearls, I mean acorn, the Froggies3 are still watching the Kissing Bunnies. The audition was cancelled because the snow melted a few hours later. The old wise crow who foresaw the snow coming, is now warming his feathers in the sunshine and warmth of the southwest, and... 

that's how it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.

Have a great weekend everyone 

and thanks for flying in.
