SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - A SPLISHING AND A SPLASHING

And sure enough, earlier in the day...

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

It's been pouring with rain for the last two days, lots of splishing and a splashing even without the birds in the bird bath. The temperature dropped 34 degrees from Tuesday, May 19th at 93 degrees F., to today (Friday 22nd) where the high was 59 degrees F. 

I hope you are getting good weather. It will be raining here for the next few days. Good for the farmers though I'm thinking, and good for our gardens.

Thanks for splashing in today and I hope things are going great wherever you are.

Enjoy your weekend.

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - MOTHERS CAN BE SO EMBARRASSING - GROANER ALERT

That's all there is for this week's 

Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.

Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!

One photo this week which says:

"We asked our mother why our beaks looked so different from hers."

"She looked at him in shock and said "Holy Cow! A talking Finch!"

"Mothers can embarrass their children sometimes."

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER?

Ah well now, Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) was the famous "Lady with the Lamp". She earned this nickname for her habit of making solitary rounds through the hospital wards at night, carrying a lantern to check on her patients. I am also dedicating this to all the nurses who take care of their patients' needs with endless kindness and patience. That is very important to those who are feeling very much under the weather. Thank you!

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

Thank you for visiting this week's flight of fancy.

I wish you all a very happy weekend.

"It's so dark here."   

"She of the house says it is wacky weather!"

Photo 2: 

"That's better!"

"They are going to be calling her the Lady of the Lamp next."

"Who would that be?"

Photo 3:

"Do you knit? I am cold!"

"Thank you!"

"Did you bring the birdseed?"

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - TOO EARLY?

No, no jokes today.

Oh you remind me of Charles Dickens in A Christmas Carol dear little Cardinal. He said, "I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach."

~Charles Dickens

Well, my dear friends, Santa is a little bit early, so I'll keep knitting more red Santa hats (only in my imagination as I never learned to knit - shocking I know). It's been jolly cold around here lately. They do need them. 

And that as we say here, is how it goes on a 

Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.

Thanks for visiting and looking at this week's attempt at a little bit of whimsy.

Have a great weekend!

For our international friends to translate the words in the photos:

Photo 1:

"I am trying to ignore the man with the white beard. He keeps asking if I've been naughty or nice. What a cheek! He is way too early! I need more time."

Photo 2:

"Offer him milk and cookies, and maybe a wee dram. No, don't do that, he's driving."

"Ho! Ho! Ho!"

Photo 3:

"I have heard he is a jolly old elf. Why don't you tell him a joke."

Photo 4:

"Where did these hats come from?"

"You have to ask?"

"I am hiding."

"Ho! Ho! Ho!"

Photo 5:

"I may be very naughty but I refuse to wear any strange looking red hats.

"He has always been a bit of a rebel."

"I don't have to worry. I was born with my own little Santa hat. I feel Christmasy all the year round."

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - THEY'RE BACK!

 

We certainly did and to my friends out there, thank you for flying in and putting up with my nonsense.

That's all from a Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder!

Have a great weekend!

The following is for our international friends to translate.

"We're back!"

"Did you miss us?"

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.

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - INCOMING

"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn." ~Benjamin Franklin~

For our international friends to translate:

1st Photo: "Incoming!"

2nd Photo: "Sorry Mr. Bluestone Bird. I am new at this.

3rd Photo: He's my youngest brother, I am teaching him how to fly."

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRDFEEDER - WHEN IS....?

 

and the water bowl has now been filled. Everyone's happy!

For our overseas blogging friends to translate.

1st photo: "I have a question for you. When is a water bowl not a water bowl?"

2nd photo: "When there's no water in the flipping water bowl!"

3rd photo: House finch on the right. "She sent this for you, with a reminder. There is a creek full of water 50 trees that way! Bird bath birds say: "I don't understand. It rained hard last night. An animal must have been very thirsty."

4th photo: Squirrel says, "Why are you all looking at me? I'm innocent I tell ya! It wasn't me!"

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - ANOTHER PARROT JOKE?

 

You don't have to yell in such BIG LETTERS!

Word of the day: polygon (geometry) a plain figure with at least three straight sides and angles and typically five or more. And if you would like a visual, you can go here.

I don't think anyone else will either. 

And that's how it goes on a Saturday Morning at the Birdfeeder. You win some, you lose some, and Poor Polly took the huff and is gone.

If another post popped up today, please ignore. It is something I have in mind to publish later and I accidentally posted it on this blog. I do these things occasionally.
