Spoiling those birds.

As soon as the sun came out this morning it was bedlam at the feeders. The nyger seed bag was very busy with finches. Of course, as soon as I went out they scattered.

There were blue-jays, chickadees, juncos, cardinals, sparrows, finch,downy woodpeckers, nuthatch, starlings and black crows.

And squirrels.

Caught this guy leaving with a peanut.

I had purchased a new seed from our local Feed & Seed shop, their deluxe mix, and they went crazy for it.
Fun to watch.
After my walk on this frigid morning I had a craft to do.

                                                     Windy and cold but ok without a hat.
                                                           -12C early this morning
                                                         I'm just a tough Canadian. ;-) 

  I'm not a crafty person but every once in awhile I like to try something that catches my eye. A bird seed wreath did just that. 

Here's the instructions...http://acultivatednest.com/2016/01/homemade-birdseed-wreath/
I had everything but the cranberries so I improvised and cut up some apple. Next time I'll add the pretty red cranberries.
My feeling is that the birds won't hold it against me.

Here it is as it goes into the fridge over-night.

I'll surprise them tomorrow.

"Hey, spoil me for a change".

I love the white lights in my cupboard. It all helps with these cold, wintry evenings.

I'm heading out early to do some serious shopping with Jess & Gwynn.

And, lunch is in the plans, too.

Mommy said to Gwynn yesterday, "do you want to meet Nan for shopping and lunch tomorrow?"

She came back with a booming "YES! and Gary, too.

That's the retired-guy. :)) She's two. haha!

Enjoy your day.
