    I am already starting my list of New Years resolutions and being more active in Garden Stew is on the list. I quickly scanned the 900+ posts since my last visit but didn't have time to comment.

    From my garden to yours...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

    Wonderful photos and a great idea of putting the suet feeder in the wreath.

    Now there's an idea!! I have a spare Christmas wreath so I'll put it out in the garden the way you have. :D I'm sure it will be well visited when the birds discover the fat cake in the middle.

    Great photographs by the way. :D

    Glad to see you posting again, and please keep your New Year's resolution about posting more--your messages are so enjoyable, and pretty, too!
    I think I'll pick up an extra wreath and put a suet feeder in the middle. I have a spot by the front door that the cardinals like to visit, and maybe a chickadee or two will stop by. Great idea!

    Thanks Cheryl, Donna, Eileen, Jane, Frank and Sjoerd. Will check back in when I have more time. I actually got the idea to put up the wreath from Kildale's photos. He always has birds in a wreath this time of year :D . Sjoerd, I quickly read your post on beekeeping...good luck with that. My friend's daughter just started keeping honeybees in GA, she also does community and coop gardening.
    You all have a wonderful holiday.

    A merry Christmas to you too. I have hung a wreath out for the birds for a few years now. You can get some great photos.
