Spring Cleaning and Dreaming
Category: Here Birdy, Birdy, Birdy! | Posted: Fri Mar 11, 2011 5:26 pm Well, I have had much patience all winter with attracting feather friends. I think that next year will be better now that they know there is a great local restaurant in the area. I did a little Spring Cleaning by setting up a little "make do" bird bath (until I can find one I like) and hung three different kinds of feeders in my backyard area I have designated for the birds. Doves, Junos, Blackbirds, Cardinals and Robins so far. I plan on planting a nice little garden to compliment the bird bath and have natural sources of food for them as well. Now I am just waiting on Mother Nature to turn up the temps! This blog entry has been viewed 1296 times
Patience
Category: Here Birdy, Birdy, Birdy! | Posted: Wed Dec 15, 2010 8:10 pm The winds have been blowing, the temperatures are dropping, and snow has even graced our December already. I have had a few birds to my cafe. Some Morning Doves have been having tea with me as well. Going to make some homemade bird feeders with the kids sometime this week. The squirrels and feathered friends should surely enjoy. If I build it they will come, right?! So for now, I shall have patience....and Jasmine Green Tea. This blog entry has been viewed 1889 times
Serenity
Category: Here Birdy, Birdy, Birdy! | Posted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 2:01 pm I have always loved the outdoors, but Winter has never been on my favorite lists. This morning I sat on my front porch, awaiting birds to my feeders,with some Hot Apple Cider and my thoughts. The sun was just starting to envelope its golden rays through gray skies upon the houses, animals, and people going to work.I watched the squirrels scamper around working hard at storing food for winter, while the ground is still free of white blankets. I thought about all the people still tucked cozy and warm in their slumber cocoons of pajamas and blankets. I thought about how my Dad used to say to me "Don't sleep the day away!" (When I was in my teens) Now as I begin my 30's, I understand what he meant. I have been missing the serenity of Winter mornings. This blog entry has been viewed 325 times
The Little Things In Life
Category: Here Birdy, Birdy, Birdy! | Posted: Thu Nov 18, 2010 5:30 pm This morning I went out to my backyard to ponder my Spring Garden,feel the sun's warmth, and the Autumn breeze. As I was thinking of cucumbers, beans, peppers,flowers and warm weather, a Dragonfly landed on my windowsill and decided to stay a while! I shall take it as a sign, a delivered message of hope and abundance in my backyard. I returned inside to finish a few chores. Later in the morning, I decided to have some tea on my front porch, since the weather is rather mild today. I leaned over to put my tea down and to my surprise a Praying Mantis is sitting upon my table. He was about 2 inches long.What a great way to start the day, with two unexpected visitors! I am very thankful for the little things in life today! This blog entry has been viewed 313 times
Blackbird Greetings
Category: Here Birdy, Birdy, Birdy! | Posted: Tue Nov 16, 2010 10:06 pm I was greeted this morning with a "Wave" from some blackbirds! It is an amazing sound to hear all those wings flapping at one time. I love the little "game" they play with flying off and then back, off and then back:-) I also had a few squirrels and I think I have even piqued a couple other kinds of birds interest!

For the Birds
Category: Here Birdy, Birdy, Birdy! | Posted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 3:50 pm I miss all the birds that I used to have visiting my old house. So I have been trying to attract some birds to my new house, or their new house:-) I have set out seed, water, suet, feeders, and stuff to build their nests with! I will also plant things in the Spring that will provide for them. So here Birdy, Birdy, Birdy! I am anxiously awaiting your visit! This blog entry has been viewed 303 times
