Day Off

Lovely 97 degree day today (kidding on the lovely) - and that is 1 1/2 weeks after the huge 15 inch snowstorm! The birds have been so busy at the feeders, I have to fill them twice a day. Quite an assortment. Along with the hordes of starlings and grackles, there's the red headed woodpecker, chickadees, goldfinches, rosebreasted grosbeaks, hairy and downy woodpeckers and now - orioles!!! So excited to have them back.We've all missed 'color' in the outdoors here. For 8 months it's been brown or white. The bright splashes of yellow and orange really make you smile :-)




After taking care of my outside birds, I headed to Northfield to pick up my mother. From there to Fairibault where there is a wonderfull nursery. The varities and color were incredible!

How does anyone ever choose what they want?

Well, I had lots of trouble although I did end up bringing some home :)

Hurried home because Heather was coming to pick up Zoey. First I stopped at Fleet Farm for a new crate for her, food and treats. I know, I know. But I want things to go smoothly so I got a few things. Heather did come and patiently listened to all my instructions....(there were a lot). I'm sure going to miss her. I hope Heather brings her to visit.

Good luck Zoey!
