Winging It

“This is my feeder, shoo!” #wingingit #cardinal #birdfeeder

Mom has been making this fabulous dessert bread since she was nine years old, and Daughter came to visit recently to learn to make it and carry on the tradition. The plan had been for Daughter to take this one home in her luggage (without the frosting), but other items crowded it out. All wasContinue reading “Consolation”

The Greenling

This tiny little frog, resembling a critter from another realm, clung to our garage door under the nightlight looking for a bug breakfast. It has been so dry lately I couldn’t help but wonder where it found enough water to hatch from an egg and go through whatever sort of tadpole stage its kind doesContinue reading “The Greenling”

Morning Magic

This morning’s eye-opener was the sight of blooms of brilliant flowers instead of coffee, though the coffee would help, I’m sure. The flowers shot up out of red, wax wrappings in just a couple of weeks to brighten our spirits as well as the days; like Christmas early. #amaryllis #blossoms #eyeopener

Mellow Yellow

Christmas came early thanks to Costco. We were looking for a birdfeeder with a camera as a mutual present for us and viola! We found this feeder with camera at a very reasonable price.

Betelgeused

We may have been at a stoplight when I got this photo, but this is one character that will never stop. Halloween was last month, but what does he care? Say his name three times and bad things can happen. Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse… Nope, twice is enough; just because he’s hiding behind the spare doesn’t meanContinue reading “Betelgeused”

Breakfast Blend

Nothing starts the day like seeds, nuts, and mealworms all fashioned together into a food log! YUM! At least this wren seems to think so. Personally, I’ll settle for cereal and toast. #wren #seedblend #mealworms

Online

Birds on seem to have no trouble communicating on line as they sort out among themselves who gets to perch where, on which wire, and next to whom. They don’t text or e-mail of course, they mainly just tweet. #birds #online #tweet

Green

Upon seeing this spiny creature creeping over the pavement, an old joke regarding “Jeopardy for Idiots” came to mind. According to the story, a contestant who had been asked the color of the White House answered, “Green.” The host replied, “I’m sorry sir, your answer must be in the form of a question.” The contestantContinue reading “Green”
