Saturday musings

Hi Everyone.  Happy Saturday.

Normally I would be showcasing my Paper Players card.  However, we had to go down to our old home today to get it ready for the new owners to move in next week!  That took much longer than we thought it would, consequently we got home really late... and I haven't had chance to make a card.  So, I will be back tomorrow with my Paper Players card.

I thought I would share a couple of photographs with you tonight.

Ah... I love it when a buffet turns out to be popular!

You can see that the suet was very popular, as the one tube is completely empty.  The woodpecker and the grackle are on the suet cake feeder and the female Oriole is waiting for a turn.  The house finch is on the top enjoying the safflower.  We had to put in the safflower for a while as the feeder's were becoming completely overrun with the red-shouldered blackbirds and grackles.  Up to 20 at a time and they were pushing out the other birds.  The safflower is not the favorite seed for them, but the nuthatches, chickadee, finch and other birds like it. 

We started off with this one little rudbekia, but this morning we have 5!  They always make me happy.

It's hard to believe what a difference a few weeks can make.   This first picture was taken just before we closed on our new home.

I took this next picture well over a week ago.  I need to take another one as the grasses have grown even more since I took this next picture.

As always, thank you for spending a little time in my area of the stamping blogosphere.  I really do appreciate it.

I hope your Sunday is filled with love, laughter, warm hugs and time spent with family and friends (2 legged, or four legged!)  Warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a lift tonight.

Hugs

Jaydee

I look forward every day to seeing what you have new - both in your craft room and outside! Thanks for the journey.

Everything looks so barren and bleak in late winter and early spring, and then suddenly you look up and POP! it's all green again. Your views are stunning. If if didn't have my own stunning views, I might be forced to be insanely jealous. As it is, I'm only a tiny bit jealous. ;o)

Your birds are gorgeous! I find the grackles and redwinged blackbirds often crowd out my song birds and empty my feeder before they can get to it. I completely understand what you're saying.

I hope the remainder of your weekend is lovely!

Hugs!

P.S. Hello Lou! :o)
