Merry Christmas!

I have been neglectful in my postings. I apologize. I can't even give a good excuse....they sound kind of lame when I think of them. Partly with the preparations for the holiday, partly because of things happening in my personal life. I wish I could say it was because of my brand new job that I have no time to blog....sadly, that's not the case. A friend of mine told me though that this coming year is my year....she swears it. Considering her family just went through a house fire 2 weeks before Christmas and she's trying to keep me positive on the job front, I feel that I need to take a page from her book and keep a positive outlook on things. That's what I'm making my 'resolution' this year....anybody else have any??

For the Birds

 I've always loved having bird feeders in my yard to see the different types of birds it would attract. We have quite a variety so far this year. We have a fairly large apple tree right next to the house and the living room window, and have four bird feeders in the tree, and one that is suction cupped onto the window.

The one on the window, I will admit, was bought for the sheer purpose of attracting the birds closer to the window for the cats entertainment. They seem to only come to it in the winter though. The top two pictures are the more colorful birds that we get, Blue Jays and Cardinals.


These two pictures show just how close Weeb's can get to the action!! In this one, the little guy there is waiting for a spot on the feeder, and the bottom one is the feeder full. She just sits there for hours watching the birds as they come and go. As much entertainment for her as it is for us!!
