Feeders, felines and a fabulous blog

I treated myself and the birds at our property to a new wooden feeder today.  I filled it with seeds, nuts and dried fruit. I now have three trees with feeders and suet cages so I'll stop now and just enjoy the view.

Hope I can catch a few customers with my camera this week.

I mentioned that suet brings you Woodpeckers

and it does.

I'm heading into the kitchen right now to make some muffins. Grandittles, Riley and Bradley, walked in here Sunday morning and after the usual, "Hi's and "How ya doin's" they both looked up and asked, "Do you have any muffins, Nana?" *grin*
I didn't, but had home-made chocolate chip cookies that seemed to satisfy them just fine.
Now I need to make their favorite pumpkin muffins and have them ready for next time they drop by.
