"I Say a Little Prayer"

This little guy (gal?) may have been praying I would pop outside with a few peanuts for him/her. It worked because I did!

This little bird sat on the dining room windowsill for a minute or so a few days ago. Is it a warbler???

Mr Squirrel doesn't look like he has the answer.

This silly Robin is still jumping up at the mirror on a daily basis. This has been going on since late March.

A new batch of young ones are at the feeders. The parent in the front kept shoving sunflower seeds into the young one.

My friend Janice and her hubby Keith both lost their mothers within a couple months of each other last year. Both ladies possessions were doled out to various family members. Janice got quite a bit of jewelry from both ladies. Janice is not a big jewelry person, wearing pretty much the same rings, necklace and earrings every day. She knows I love anything old so passed along to me a few items. Janice's mum loved ducks so had these pins made out of wood to wear on her jackets.

This locket had been Keith's Moms. It was given to her from the family to celebrate Keith's parents 25th wedding anniversary.

Snowdrops I think!

There were many pins. I do wear them on my jackets so will love having a few to choose from.

Very glamorous! This was Janice's Moms.

There were a few pairs of earrings too, all clip on, something I have never worn.

Saturday morning I could have used a wagon or something similar on our walk. A number of people must have been cleaning out sheds and basements. I picked up a couple bushel baskets to use for Fall decorating but had to go back with the car for this. A pair of very old shutters were put in a local communal wood pile. I didn't want to be greedy so only took one. It is pegged together with wooden pegs, not a nail or screw anywhere. There appear to be three layers of paint, first green, then red and lastly white. Chuck hung it up in my little courtyard at the side of the house

A mixed bag of weather the last week or so. I took this early one morning over a neighbours house.

Can anyone tell me what kind of bird this is? I took these photos early one morning while it was still rather dark. I just lightened them up a bit. He definitely had orange legs and feet.

I thought maybe an immature heron????

So clear one morning I managed to get a few good shots of the moon.

Chuck recently signed on to a full time position at his work so no more contracts!!! Finally some vacation time,  sick days, family days, etc..... Right now the plan is just to work for a couple more years or however long his shoulder holds out. I will not love getting up at 5:30 on the cold Winter mornings but we know it isn't for long.

Have a good day!
Robin
