Welcoming new birds

After a joyful Christmas, I filled the feeders for all the birds at our property.
They deserve lots of treats, too, as they bring such pleasure to all that stop their busyness long enough to enjoy them.

 A Nut-hatch arrived for dinner and to wish us a
Happy New Year 
This is the first one spotted.
and of course, the Chickadee
wouldn't let the day 'fly by' without a proper
"Cheers"
Couldn't get a photo of 'the bandits' (squirrels) but they were there, too.

At home, a few new birds joined the others on Audrey's bird tree.


 A beautiful red cardinal
I have yet to see one at our feeders.
These were all gifts from friends and family.

I was very spoiled this Christmas and will take time today to enjoy a new tea that was given to me by one of my cat-sitting clients. I'll give you a review soon.

I love my little tea cupboard in the dining-room and I'm always changing it up.


This little Santa will hang around for awhile and help dress it up for the New Year.

Stay toasty,
Deb
