Winter has arrived in our part of the world. At least, if you look outside you would think that. The feeders were brought in this morning to thaw out and be re-filled for the many birds that showed up at the crack of dawn. For some reason, there was a large amount of mourning doves all around the bottom of one feeder today; close to twenty. And the squirrels were up and out early from their cozy spot inside the old maple tree. Everything looked confused and frantic today. Chickadees, Cardinals, Finch, Juncos, Doves, Blue-jays and Sparrows. And they all looked hungry.
Our friendliest neighbours dropped in last week to say "so long" as they packed up and were heading to Florida for the winter. smart They will be gone until April and have shut down their many feeders for those months. So.....guess where all their birds will be heading?

Stay tuned for lots of action as they fly in for a happy meal.
It's all about the Christmas season now since Thanksgiving is far behind us here in Canada. The Christmas lists, cd's and Christmas cards are scattered about on the table. I have more help than I need as I write. =^..^=
Thoughts of gift-giving consumes me at the moment. And, I must make two new stockings to hang for our newest grandittles, Gus & Tenley, this year, :) :) All fun.
Best get busy.
I have more to do than lie around dreaming of cat-nip-filled mousies under the tree like someone I know.
"Happy Thanksgiving"
to all my American friends. Hope there's lots of pumpkin pie to go around.
hugs, Deb
