The New Bird Feeder

by Kay~Kacey on 4/8/2011

Ah, yes. No house would be complete without a bird feeder! At least not a house of mine! It finally thawed enough for SuperGuy to dig a hole for the feeder post.

digging the hole for the feeder postFirst step was finding out who he loaned the post hole digger to… :rofl:   I helped a lot with the digging stage. “A little more to the left. No, too far. Now come forward about a foot. No, not there!”

He got the post just the right height.

putting on the squirrel preventer

Then he rigged up the squirrel preventer thingie that slides onto the post to keep the squirrels away. Kind of.

And here we are…just waiting for some birds to find it…

Just add birds and camera and I’m all set to go.

snow on redbud tree branch

Stupid “dusting” of snow turned into 5″ of snow this past weekend. So over it. I hope my redbud still blooms…and my daffodils and other flowers survive. Not amused. Not amused at all. So. Over. Winter.

That is all.

Classic Avoidance

I hate doing taxes. There I said it. So what did I decide was more important than working on taxes?? Bird photos of course.
