A Busy Day at the Feeder

the day before our first big snowfall

Birds and squirrels must know when they need to stock up on their food intake. It was a crazy day at the bird feeder and between the birds and the tree rats (my husband’s name for squirrels) the feeder and seeds around the feeder quickly disappeared.

Lashing Rain and Visitors to My Yard Today

made a To Do List today and listed 12 jobs

The rain came down so heavily today that I figured it was a good day to do things around the house. One of the first things I did was go through my closet and dresser and pull out most of my summer clothes. After I removed some sweaters and long sleeved shirts from my storage bins I replaced them with the summer things.

I managed to complete 10 of the 12 jobs that I posted. Looking out my back door earlier today I noticed that there was a lot of activity on my deck and around the bird feeder. I guess squirrels and birds have to eat even in the rain.

A while back, I had stopped using my Panasonic Lumix camera because of a problem. I really thought it was toast but after discussing the issues with Cee she went to the Panasonic website and she suggested that I put all the settings back to the factory settings it came with. Success!!! That small change did the trick. The following photos were taken with the telephoto lens on the Panasonic through a glass door.

Sunday Outside My Back Door – Oct 24, 2021

….thanks to Celia for hosting this weekly video prompthttps://thekitchensgarden.com/2021/10/24/24-seconds-out-my-front-door/

Looking outside my back door on Sunday morning. I will be doing this every Sunday for awhile. It will be interesting to see the changes over the next few months.

I decided against filming outside my front door because the view is often obstructed by the parked cars and the sun rises on the back side of the house. If I get up early enough I might be able to catch a sunrise.
