It’s Been Quiet & Cold

 

Not much has been going on here , this time of year as it is so cold  and after all the December hoopla things quiet down here . Papa is at work during the weekdays , Miggs and I putter about sometimes inside and sometimes outside for a bit or go for our walks if the weather isn't to windy and YUKKY out , but I always make sure our birdies and critters are well fed and always have full feeders out there  .

Early this morning  as the sun was rising  I was watching the birds at the feeders and took a few photos of them from my kitchen sliding doors .

One of our many male Cardinals having an early breakfast , they usually eat later in the mornings after all the other birdies have had their fill for a bit  but this guy wanted to catch the early worm  so to speak lol !

I like to sit in the kitchen in the mornings this time of year have my cuppa tea  and just watch them all at the feeders , they can be quite entertaining and comical with their antics at times .

I am always looking out for a new bird at our feeders or in our yard as we are on the migration path , one never knows . I have spotted quite a lot of newbies to our feeders and yard over the years .

As they all fly about to and from these feeders and the ones I have in the back over by our crab apple tree which the other day in a snow squall we had about 30 Cedar Waxing's visit and feasting on the crab apple berries it was to snowy to get any photos of them this time but have had lots of photos in the past  , always nice to see them , they are such clean pretty looking birds with lovely markings and colour.

                       Miggs loves to be outside on a cold day when the sun is shining and the winds are  some what calm .

Our Start To The New Year

 

 

Happy New Year everyone .

Our new years day was lovely , the sun was shining , most of our snow has gone and we have green every where and Papa has finished  putting up my mudroom /laundry room walls  with gyprock  . it had dark paneling on before , Papa will be putting up white cupboard's a broom pantry and a coat n boot closet in a few weeks and then painting the walls white so it will be all fresh clean and bright and I will have tons of storage  YIPPYSmile ! .

So we had a nice camp fire yesterday since it was a nice day out  of all the old pieces of wood from his shop and the old paneling .

                                                                What did you do on your first new years day ?!

It is frosty this morning and we are to be getting rain or maybe even a mix of snow and rain later in the afternoon and evening and possibly over night  so that's not to bad , I see some of you up in  the northern parts of our Ontario are deep in snow YIKES ! and yet down here  in southwestern Ontario we are more green then white  .

                       Birdies are feasting at the feeders, squirrels are about keeping Miggs occupied  and cotton tail bunnies at night here and there as are our crows we have hanging about  we named one George  years ago and he and Miggs talk to one another  , it is funny and quite interesting that they  seem  to understand one another to lol .  Well that's about it for me  for now , hope the new year brings more  fun for you all and for me behind my lens and maybe even a new bird or two or critter , oh I am looking forward to spring already hehe !

                                                                              Until next time .
