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

Waxwings, Finches and Magpies

This was the first day without rain in the last four. I sat outside on the deck, with camera and book and kept an eye on the choke cherry tree. It was a busy place. The three days at near freezing must have ripened up the cherries.

 There were quite a few Cedar Waxwings feeding away.

 Some were just content to sit and rest.


 The Magpie kept an eye on "his" tree, and let his displeasure of sharing known!

 Best of all was the House Finch. This looks like the young of the year. he was fairly tame.

 I would also call him a right proper pig when it comes to downing sunflowers!

 He also has quite the feather pattern!







All in all, a pretty scruffy looking character!

Finches and Jays

The House Finch was busy today stocking up on food. He can sure toss the sunflower seeds down



 He is pretty scruffy and I would make him as a young-of -the-year.

 This Blue Jay sat and watched for a while before coming in.


 Pretty soon there were four of them squawking and feeding. 




That was about all that showed up this morning.
