Spring Chicks

Our backyard Wrenns have four new mouths to feed.  We've been helping just a bit by putting out meal worms daily. :)  They're so cute and we're enjoying watching them learn to fly.   

this pic made me laugh until I cried! lol

not good lighting, but you can see them together. :)

Enjoying Spring

Thank you for the birthday wishes, it was a wonderful day!  I had my family with me all day and night and that is, and always will be, what puts a smile on my face. :)  I must show you a few of my favorite gifts. 

We've been having perfect weather!  Sunshine everyday and birds singing their little hearts out.
We've had such a treat watching our Carolina Wrenn's bring their four babies to our deck.  They are the definition of PRECIOUS. :)

To Hootin' Anni..I bought some organic kale at Publix and I love it. :)  I've already been changing my diet, but adding kale is one of the best changes I could have made, so thank you. :)

Day Three & Finale of The Crow

This is what I found when googling do Crows bury food...

Crows sometimes will bury food in the the yard and cover it with leaves or grass. They also hide food in trees or rain gutters, or another spot. Like squirrels, crows will retrieve the stored food when needed.

I always wonder how good are the squirrels are at finding their buried food now I'm wondering how well of a memory do the crows have when it comes time to find their food.  
I was sure that we videoed the Crow burying food.  I'll do some searching on my cell phone or backup inventory.  I would love to show you all.

I don't mind the Crow and his crew visiting.  I just hope it's not too often because they will scare of my visiting song birds and cute squirrel families. :)
I have really enjoyed the Crow stories everyone shared!  Crows can be so funny!
Animals are truly Amazing!

The Crow flew off to sit High in a tree and started squawking.  He was even bobbing like crazy but no one ever came and he flew away. 
He or she really is gorgeous.

Day Two of The Crow

I've really enjoyed hearing about your Crow experiences.  If you didn't see my blog post from yesterday you should go there to read about some blogger's encounters with these smart birds.  
I remember one day hubby and I got food from Chick-fil-A and ate in a nearby parking lot.  Our windows were down and here came a few Crows.  It was as if they had done this before, beg people for some crumbs. lol  I started throwing pieces of waffle fries to them, not many because they're so yummy haha! and they're full of salt.  Anyway, one Crow started burying some of the pieces!  I had never seen any bird bury food before and I haven't seen it since.
I'm super curious, have any of you seen a bird bury food??

Happy Sunday to you!

Birds, Dogs, a Squirrel & Snow

It was only one day of snow, which is pleanty for me, and we made the best of it.  We made sure to put plenty of food out for all our critter visitors.  And inside we had lots of yummy food cooking in our new pressure cooker.  We made open faced roast beef sandwiches, I had been having a craving.  It turned out yummy!
Anyone still getting snow?  I think 55 degrees mixed with sunshine is a perfect day. 

sitting patiently, ready for the snow

Happy 2017!

Happy new year!  Hope everyone enjoyed their first day of 2017.  We stayed home to bring in the new year with lots of food, cards & board games and it was so much fun.  We even had fireworks close by. :) 
Did you stay in or go to a celebration or do you have any new year's eve traditions that you follow?

Happy 2017!  Hope the year brings you much happiness and joy!  

This is a happy 2016 memory to share with you. :)

This is a precious young bird that flew into our sliding glass door.
My son immediately went to help it.  He held it for a few minutes until it was ready to fly again.

We think it's a part of the Warbler family.

Bath time for Robins

Yesterday morning our backyard was full of Robins all wanting to take a bath at the same time.  You can see, by their expressions, that some weren't too happy to share the tub. :)  It looks like they may be family. ha ha
