Another Day At The Feeder...

 There was a nice gentle snow on Sunday...

So...

I grabbed my new camera...

Hoping for a photo-op...

And...

I was not disappointed...

Very shortly, this handsome fella flew in...

He took his time...


Chose just the perfect sunflower seed....

And posed quite nicely for me...

For I was....

Hidden in the kitchen...   


 


Mr. Chickadee was on the feeder next to him....

And when the handsome Red guy left....

A pretty Purple Finch flew in... 









     And then....

     They were gone...




   Hope you all have a great day....

    Taking a drive to the cottage, as it is going to be sunny...

      THey have started work on our sunporch, and it is bad news...:o(

        There is more work than anticipated....the ceiling has to come down..

           We knew the floor had to come up...but this was not expected...

             That's what happens to an over 80 year old cottage...

                We love it so much...it is worth the extra effort..

                  To keep her standing!!!  WIsh me luck...I will look for the rock!!!


  On the menu tonight...Roasted Pea Meal bacon with crispy Roasted taters

               Fresh Yellow and Green Beans...


    Lunch will probably be on the road...hopefully a Club Sandwich..yummo..

     Have a box for the Thrift Shop...but I will proabably bring something
               home as well!!!!

           Always looking for new treasures!!!!


              ENjoy your day...

                            Cheers!   :o)

  1. Great photos this morning Linda. I am still waiting to see the elusive red cardinal here even though they are in the area and seem to be avoiding my food. :) Too bad about the porch but when it's done it will last a long time. So worth it for your lovely cottage. Enjoy your day.

  3. Maybe one day I'll become a real birdwatcher. For now I enjoy whoever happens to chance by (or wants a place to stay for the night). They are fascinating little creatures.
