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.

HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE - ARTSY PHOTO FUN ON THE DECK

I was drinking a glass of water when I spotted my dear other half after the last few sips, which started a trend. So, next thing, out came the cell phone.

Our sweet niece I have been close to and loved dearly since the first time I set eyes on her as a wee little girl, and…

honorary nephew. It was the first time we have met and by the end of their vacation he was one of the family. He also has a lovely sense of humor and had me laughing out loud several times (I love a good laugh). Of course, we mustn't forget his daughter. She was inside the house at the time I got the idea for these photos, but she was/is a sweet young lady.

We had a lot of great times chatting out there.  Weather cooperated, not too hot. Tallied up to several hours during their stay.  Happy times and great memories for the memory box.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Sunday to you all!

SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER - WHAT'S THIS? IS IT A BIRD, A FURRY BIRD?

 

Checking the birdbath out...

and a fallen leaf.

What next?

She might have heard someone nearby accidentally tapping the glass with a camera lens, trying to get a closer look.

“What was that?”

“I heard it again!”

And with that, she left!

Husband of woman with camera said, “What are you doing?  Don't open the door.  She might dart in.”  Woman with camera was hoping fluffy cat would come over and say hello, but fluffy cat quickly scurried across the deck, squeezed through the ever so narrow opening under the rail and jumped nine feet to the ground, the fluffy cat not the woman with camera. She, meaning the big, fluffy cat with the tiny body under all that fur, obviously had springs on her toes! 

Visiting Carolina Wren said to woman with camera, “With all due respect, you trying to say hello to big fluffy cat, I'm glad she left! Cats and birds do not mix!”  “That is sad!” said woman with camera.  “Why can't we all get along?”

Woman with camera thinks this was the cat that visited a couple of weeks ago. She looks very well taken care of and doesn’t think she is let out of the house often. Her fluffy coat looks immaculately clean. She is perhaps a house cat but occasionally takes a walkabout through an open door without her humans realizing. She may also be a newcomer to the neighborhood. I'm sure she will make her way home. Eyes will be alert just in case.

Thank you for visiting and enjoy your day!
