I have a lot of company at the buffet today. Yesterday afternoon I threw out most of a loaf of bread and today the finches and sparrows are having a field day grabbing little pieces and flying away and then flying right back again. It looks like a very active runway out there this morning. The cardinals have been busy flying in and out of here today too. There has been a steady half a dozen doing touch and go maneuvers chasing one another around. The downy woodpeckers are busy having suet for breakfast. I think the bark butter feeders may all be empty. In fact, I have a bunch of feeders that need filling again today. I was noticing too that the goldfinches have now lost all of their summer yellow and have turned a dull color for the winter.
My tulip poplars are about 65% done dropping their leaves. When the sun does shine, it brightens up my back yard a lot more. I may get on the roof today and walk the edges with my blower to clean out the gutters and clean off the sunporch roof. The way the wind has been blowing I was hoping that I’d get “nature’s help” but, it looks like I have to go do it myself. The silly part is that I have to get on a ladder to get my other ladder down from where it hangs in the garage.
I did finally get to my class yesterday and it was everything I expected it to be. At least the instructor comes right out and says that they hold this for insurance reasons. That doesn’t make it anymore interesting, just more honest.
Time for me to throw on my jeans and get busy being productive. I hope your day goes well and now your work week is half over. May the second half be your best half! Peace.
