Flop

I tried a bird treat recipe...I don't think I will use it again. Really didn't do anything but create a taste-less glue to hold the seed together. They looked cute though molded in my little pans.

Working?

Sophie insists she IS working and not creating a distraction. You decide!

Planning a new view

Next winter I want to have a new view out of this window. Gotta work some bird feeders into it somehow...the cross section of the window frame blocks out my little fence line bed.

And this is the view further out...

Feathered friends

Cats, cats & more cats

The top one is my diva Sophie. The others are strays. The calico is the mother. She is ready to deliver another litter. Sigh. They are cute but...
