All tucked in.

Sid still waits for a crow to land.

The blue-jays (GO BLUE-JAYS!!!) are really hogging the feeders today.
They are rather obnoxious to the other birds but high-tail it when the squirrels arrive.



The chickadees eat at the front feeders, too, and then follow me to the back feeders to see what tasty tidbit awaits them there.
I've added peanuts to the seed and they are really loving that.
Who doesn't love peanuts?
I spotted a few nut-hatch today.
I expect I will have them all winter.
They zoomed by with no interest in a photo-shoot.

Everything was put away this afternoon but the bird feeders, houses & baths.
Tonight we expect below freezing temperatures again.

I raked until my arms fell off.
15 wheelbarrows full.
St Francis is the last to come in.

The squirrel feeder is a hit
because....
I put peanut butter inside.
There really is a squirrel in there.
(lousy photo taken from the mouse-house window)

So, other than a bird-bath heater, I think I'm ready for winter.

You too, Annie?


Now... I want to put Christmas lights up.

Oh...just slap me silly. :-b

hugs, Deb
