Maples & a table for two..or ten.

Through the mouse-house corner kitchen window...

(three faces that make me smile)

I introduce to you...

one of our magnificent maple trees.

I am anxiously waiting for it to astound us with it's colourful show. I expect that will happen in another week. Stay tuned as it will be amazing.. 
It is just under this tree that Simon calls *home*.

I am convinced after feeding birds for three years now that bird feeders are unnecessary if you have a clean, flat, sturdy surface for the birds to land on.
I have brought in, from the back of our lot, the bird feeders and left a little bistro table for them to use over the next couple of months. The birds love the easy-to-land-on surface and there's plenty of room for everyone. And it's so easy to wipe off each morning.
It will do 'til the snow flies then I will have a covered platform feeder for them.

"Where do I start?"

This little chickadee sat right by my foot as I photographed the birds coming to the table. It seemed to be very comfortable in my presence.

Are they not the sweetest birds ever.

Oh, ya.

With a side-dish of tuna, s'il vous plait.

Thank goodness you're an in-door cat, Audrey.
