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

Bohemian Waxwings

I haven't seen these guys for a while, but I guess that the crab apples that are left on the tree are in the proper state of softness and fermentation for a good chow down.
There were about 30 that showed up, and took little time to strip the tree.

Fermentated berries, softened in the morning sun are good, or so they tell me.
 Who says you can't fly on one wing? Have another berry.
 Yep, munch, munch, munch!

Early Morning Feed

Yesterday was one of those all day snow, but warm days. There was hardly a bird showed up at the feeder. First thing this morning the Magpies showed up. 

 Oh, come on! Don't be shy!
 The other two that showed up first did not want these two to feed and originally drove them off.

 Regular little, well, not so little puff balls at this time of year! -16C ( 3.2F) today :-{
