This Morning !

 

I went out earlier this morning to refill my bird feeders and put the peanuts out . The temp was -10ºC but there was no wind so it wasn't to bad , I was dressed in warm layers so I didn’t get cold as it makes me ache if I get chilled .  The birds were fluttering around gathering up seed and waiting for me to put the full feeders back up .

The Blue jays were telling each other there was peanuts as they squawked back and forth to each other after I had put them out !  Then the crows who have a taste for peanuts also were cawing back and forth to each other letting each one know grub is up !

             This guy was sitting just above the feeder with the peanuts.  All I have to say to Miggs is black bird and she chases the crows away !

Miggs just finished chasing the crow in this photo !

The Blue jays were scoffing like crazy we have about 6 of them here they take turns raiding the feeder !

                                   I like the little Juncos they are so cute bobbing around .

    Female Downy watching me as she feasts on suet !

The Cardinals were avoiding me and my camera as much as possible and stayed up top of the trees !

Then I decided to play fetch with Miggs , then I took Miggs for a walk as the sun came out  got back then took more photos I will post them tomorrow , then came in and warmed our bones up for the remainder of the day ,we were out side for three hours . It is nice to get out in the fresh crisp air , not to bad if your dressed for it !

                              Until next time hope you all have a good day !

A New Year 2013

 

Hope everyone had a nice evening of ringing in the new year . Papa and I had a quiet evening . I wasn’t sure if we were even going to make it to midnight as we are early to bed folk but we did , it was like  this , when midnight hit we said Happy New Year to each other a peck and that was that , night, night time lol ! The party animals in us that once was are no longer lol ! Ya know your getting old when !!

I do not make any new years resolutions I just go with the flow . I do however make plans to do things hopefully through out the seasons like this spring we are planning to build  a raised veggie garden , and what flowers I want this summer . I am still working on my Country Kitchen Recipe book that I am designing  and of course just taking hundreds of photos  and working on photos for members of our saddle club. Papa is slowly finishing up my little pantry he built and soon will be busy in his wood work shop making and building other things for us and other people.

Just enjoying the birds in our yard the nature that's around us , our girls and basically just plodding along with a simple country life just the way we like !

 

   I took these photos yesterday . The Cardinals are very skittish ! We have three males and two females here .

They were watching me that's for sure !

  A scenery I see every day during the winter . Our Neighbours barn with the woods in the back. A road and a river are down in the gully of the woods .

                   So do you make any new years resolutions ?  Or do you just go with the flow ?

                                          Until next time Hope you all have a good day !
