Just hanging on



       Yesterday, the outdoor temperature rose to a balmy 60 degrees.   I turned off the heat, and opened the top half of my dutch door.   Simone is not declawed, and had a fun time hanging on to the screen.

uninvited visitor



       I had been wondering why all the sudden, the suet feeders were getting picked clean so quickly, and now I have my answer.

       This squirrel and his three friends have discoverd my feeders.

       The birds that are used to being fed in my yard are not pleased.

Little sparrow





       I have been visited by many of these little sparrows over the course of the winter.





       The dark dot in the middle of this sparrow’s breast is a marking of the American Tree Sparrow





       These little birds winter here with us, then migrate northward, just south of the tundra, into Canada every Spring.





       Sparrrows are seed eaters, and actually prefer the habitat of brush over trees, for building their nests.

Peace





       This is one of my favorite necklaces.   It was made in the 1960’s, as a symbol of protest to the Vietnam war.

       I have had this necklace for almost 40 years.   It originally belonged to my sister Rosemary.   It’s one of my favorite pieces of Jewelry, and I believe whole heartedly in it’s message.

A few things…



       I started decorating for Christmas.

       I discovered that my camera actually has a built in zoom.  But I still ordered the 2x accessory lens on line and should be able to take better bird pictures soon.

       We’ve been building alot of these lately…
