Rain Rain Go Away...
This week? Where did it go?
It's no wonder I have a list as long as my arm of things to do at the mouse-house.
I haven't been home much. ;-)
It's been raining non-stop up until yesterday. We did have some spring-like weather and then it rained again. Keeping the feeders dry and cleaning up the wet spillage is a job in itself.
We have been having new visitors to the side feeder every night; the one outside the garage door. Two very large racoons along with two very sweet grey bunnies show up after dark each night and feast on what has been spilled by the birds. I won't pretend I haven't put some extra treats out for them now that I know they come by regularly. Heck...everything is hungry and they are here looking for food. I have great respect for wild-life and know not to get too close but I do love to watch them go about their business.
What harm is there in treating them a little. I'm probably asking for it here. lol
The birds make quite a racket now at the feeders and around the maple trees. I noticed yesterday that it was like an orchestra playing until I got close to the area. Then...silence.
Aren't they amazing. They watch and react to everything around them. The silence continued while I added peanuts and sun-flower seeds to the platform feeders and a fresh mac apple to the holder. I threw a bit of dry 7 grain bread on the ground for the crows. Then I walked away.
It was like the conductor raised his wand (that's what I'm calling it) and the performance resumed. It was almost deafening and absolutely beautiful.
hugs, Deb

From the bedroom window
Someone was really lovin' that sun today.
But then it was time to sit still and contemplate the death of an Easter ornament on the dining-corner table.
The snow is melting fast.
It was time to open the kitchen window and take in that orchestra.
I wish you could hear it. It's pretty sweet. :)
