Life On and Off an Acreage

In-sights into moving from an Acreage back to Town, plus a few things I find of interest.

Two things that horses are scared about:


1. Things that move
2. Things that don't move




Old enough to be eccentric, but not rich enough

It's Getting Cold Out There!

 The weather is hanging around freezing and the birds are stocking up on energy The Evening Grosbeaks are stuffing the food down

 It is like the scene around the office coffee pot. Everyone is talking up a storm. 

 This guy has been in the Choke Cherry tree, and needs a napkin.

 That's better!

 Starting to get a few of the neighbours dropping in.

 They all seem to get along except when the Blue Jays show up. Then the bullying starts.

So far, so good. No Jays yet!

Evening Grosbeaks

These two have been coming to the feeder in the early mornings for the last couple of days.

 The male looks kind of grumpy, but he seems to get along OK.
 The female is much more cheerful looking and not quite as watchful.
 I would have thought that they would be nesting by now, but I guess not
Hopefully they will keep coming back for the summer.
