The robins have been plentiful...especially with the wet gardens!!
You can see the rain drops on his head...and he scooted under a Juniper for some shelter...
And the Wind....gosh...very gusty...you can see his fathers blowing!!
While Mrs Cardinal admired herself in one of my many garden mirrors...
Mr Cardinal did some preening in a nearby Pear tree...about to bloom!!
It seems like it has been raining for days and days...well...I guess it has!!
Everytime it is not going to rain...
We head down to the cottage...and enjoy some sunshine and some outdoor time...
This past Wednesday was a glorious day...
I am sifting thru my photos...and will share soon...
Hope that your homes are not in any danger from the rising water...
Stay dry my friends!!!

I had filled the bird feeders...
Yesterday....
As...I felt bad for the poor birds...
Freezing in this horrible cold...
I even toyed with the idea..
Of filling a bowl...
With boiling water....
I have done this before...
Apparently the steam attracts them...
And they come in for a sip of water...
I did not end up doing that....
But felt good that I had filled the feeders♥
Of course....Red had his fill....and even chased some bigger squirrels away...
But...the most astonishing thing today....was....that....
There were 6 Female Cardinals.......Yes....I said 6....and one Male...♥
I imagine they are juveniles...and stuck together for the winter....
I have only EVER seen Cardinals in pairs....this was a first....and very exciting!
Here he is!!!
So regal...
All decked out in his...
Fancy...
Red suit...
He was nibbling...
Rather thoughtfully...
On the cedars...
Small cones....
Tasty!
Captured this shot of the Moon...just as I was going to bed...last night.....♥
Hope you all had a great day....
Kept busy around the house today....laundry....sewing....made soup♥
My boyfriend picked up Miss V around 2pm....and we played for hours!
I took a few pics....she is now sporting a wee barrette in her hair....sooooo cute!
Lucky enough to go out for dinner tonight....went to the Greek....
Going for a drive to the cottage tomorrow....can't wait....suppose the Lake is frozen...
Hope we can get in....or we might have to hope the fence!
Enjoy the rest of your evening....
Cheers! :o)
