Another Nice Weekend In The Books

 

Saturday was the best day of the two this weekend and Papa and I puttered took our time and did a few things that needed to be done  . Papa re painted some of his wood shop trim on the out side , tidied  up the wood piles and I was helping by filling my little red wagon Ruby with the scrap wood and burning it in the fire pit and having a campfire .

As lunch time approached I made a little picnic lunch of sandwiches and chips as a treat  and we had it out at our picnic table by the fire . Who needs to go camping when you can do it all right in your own yard lol !

                             Miggs is looking at Papa wondering if he has anything for her and smelling food .

He called her over and she sat ever so patient whilst Papa chose what he was going to give her ,she had a piece of cheddar cheese , a chip and a small biscuit  for her lunch but she had to say please and sit pretty  !

                                                                          Good girl Miggs !

Then back to tidying up and burning more scrap wood and whilst I was doing that  Papa was busy with other stuff !

                 Yesterday Sunday started out to be a nice sunny day so whilst Papa again was busy with his stuff I took the time to take photos of birds and what ever caught my eye , cause well we all know taking photos is what I love to do !

Up in our big old tree was Mr Northern Flicker who was doing his best at avoiding me way up there and using the branches to hide  but I was able to get a bit under and closer to him every time he lost interest in where I was as he was preening himself  so I took advantage of that , a good way to use your time to quietly sneak up on them as they aren't paying attention  then as soon as they look to see where you are stop and be still for the moment ! Works every time lol !

Then we have these two Geese who are nesting at the end of the field near the river not far from us and they use over our house as their exercise flight path a few times a day !

                   Then one of them takes the fight path on their own as the other stays behind on the river bank !

                               Miggs was busy keeping the squirrels on their toes as she does every day lol !

                                           Mr Robin watching the ground for movement of worms to catch !

Busy place this feeding station is every day  sometimes there are so many birds and squirrels here it gets confusing and very loud lol !

Then I hear a usual sound I hear a lot here this time of year and that’s small air craft fling over and about our valley !

Then I saw Mr Sparrow in the barn house busy making a nest and insisting upon squeezing in and out as he has every year lol !

We have lots of Robins this year as well as lots of Red winged Black birds , these guys calls and song remind me of the marsh/swamp I used to go to as a kid where they would sit on the tall grasses and bulrushes and sing . They do that here in our swampy /marshy area near the river but they do enjoy a good feast at the feeders every once in a while !

Well that was pretty much our weekend . The afternoon yesterday ended up cloudy after all and very chilly so we came in and watched a movie or two !

This morning is cloudy and drizzly with rain the sun is trying to come out  but lots of low cloud  is hanging over  so I will cross my fingers that the sun breaks through the cloud but for now I will just be glad the temps have warmed up again . Early this morning I saw Mrs Robin on my garden rock Papa made for me a few years ago and I thought it was  a perfect shot as I love the garden rock sign  or as I call it my garden  tomb stone lol standing joke here , my gardens and Robins  so it just seem to fit !

 

                                                                                    Until next time !
