Winter here on Sunny Ridge has been a pretty bad one..I was talking to my Dad and I told him this was the kind of winter we had when I was a child..He is 82 and said he didn't ever remember a February being this snowy...So that was something to hear...So anyway the little squirrels didn't come out much while the weather was really bad,but when they did they ate like pigs..
I had to really keep the feeders filled at all times..I think I put out more seed this year than I ever have...
These two were just waiting for me to go inside so they could hog up all the food...they really are pigs...
We had lots of Blue Jays this year...they are such a pretty bird..And when it did warm up a bit Shag the Cat was so thrilled that he ran up a tree as fast as lightning,and he came down that fast to...if you look close he is upside down..
Love that Cat..
Well I know this is short...hope to have more to share with you in a few days..I have missed everyone so much...I am so glad to be feeling like a human again...or maybe just feeling a little normal...
take care...
We are glad to have you back. I know what you mean, about the snow globe. I think a lot of us have felt that way this year. Maybe age and time of life does have something to do with it.

I love how you described being in a snow globe! Very creative. It has been the strangest winter here in many moons. But, me liking winter, it was a rare treat from Mother Nature. But, that being said, I am so ready for Spring!! Love your photos.
ReplyDeleteWe were out and about today and it was back to being the ugly drab of winter, no snow on the ground. I love your squirrels and bluejays. We put out a squirrel feeder and it hasn't been visited once and I think all our blue jays came to your house.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you back among the living .... Cabin fever can take a hold of ya .... Being a Yankee ... I know what it is like! Gonna be nice tho this weekend ... so lets just hope that spring is on it's way to us in good ole KY. And we can go back outside.
ReplyDeleteOh and BTW don't let the age thing get to you!

Welcome back ! Winters like we have been having can put a sad look on ones face. But Spring is around the corner!!
ReplyDeleteLove your bird pics.
andora, i am right there with you! i just blogged again after a two week hiatus and we were snowed in all the time...well, not snowed in but it felt like it. i have seasonal affective disorder and really have to work hard to be energetic! i remember my childhood winters full of snow too!
ReplyDeleteSame here Andora, the birds kept us busy, I've never had to dispence so much seed, the back porch was constantly covered with hungry birds. Warmer days this weekend though!
ReplyDeleteI think we are all having some type of cabin fever this Winter! I know I've been living in a snow globe too! Sometimes it's been fun but other times I can't wait for Spring. I am enjoying not having to drive the kids to school on those days that they close the schools though!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the birds being little piggies this year! I think I've already put out 3 bags of 50 pound bags of Sunflower seeds this year and 12 suet cakes. But it's worth it! I love the birds and seeing them at my house. There is also a benefit to feeding the birds. They build their nests in the trees nearby and they eat all of the bugs in the Summer!
You take such beautiful pictures. You could make postcards or birthday cards out of them. I know I have put more seed out this year than ever too. They can empty my bird feeder in a day!
ReplyDeleteOh what wonderful photos, I have a dear friend in Van Lear KY, is that any where near you. It is simply beautiful there, if not for your bitter cold and snow would love to live there. Hugs and love your blog, Barbara
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are sooo good! Looks like you have had a lot of snow this winter too. I'm ready for Spring!
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you back! The birds are eating me out of house and home too. That's okay, I like watching them.
ReplyDeleteIt's warming up here today, thank goodness! :)
ReplyDeleteGood to see your comment on my blog, and see you back posting on your own! The winter blahs have been in full force here in SD for many weeks now. I'm counting the days until the spring birds return, and the wildflowers too!
