Back Up and Running!

I was without a computer for a few days. Mine took a dump on Monday morning with the death blue screen. Got it into the shop Monday night and got it back late this morning. Thank goodness it wasn't anything serious like a virus or anything else. Just had to replace the WiFi thingy on it.
While I didn't have my computer to waste time on I did manage to work on orders and take more pictures of wildlife in my yard.

White-Crowned Sparrow. Love these little guys with their black and white Mohawk


Another pic of him.


I've been getting loads of American Goldfinches!!! I had hubby attach another shepards hook onto the one I already had. So now I have 3 feeders and more goldfinches!


Just can't resist taking pictures of Mr. Cardinal in our big oak tree.


I hung up all my hummingbird feeders on Saturday and noticed them at my feeder on Monday. This is a male ruby throated hummer. The males always arrive 1 to 2 weeks before the females do.


 Plump I think Mrs. Robin


All my feeders!


Mr. American Goldfinch


This was so funny. I was taking pics of the birds when this squirrel found a patch of sun on the deck and stretched out and laid like that for a few minutes. He almost closed his eyes and took a nap.


White-Crowned Sparrow


And last but not least, my half tail squirrel, Lucy!!!



And tonight my primitive chippy paint bird make do that I listed a week ago ends tonight on ebay. I will be listing these 2 new birds tonight on ebay.




Have a wonderful evening!!!!

Lazy Day of Bird Watching

Today was one of those days that I just felt like doing nothing. I'm starting to get sick of sitting inside locked up in a air conditioned house. We've had the house closed up for over a month now. I love having the windows open when the weather is cooler. Today was a cloudy day and a little on the humid side but I went outside and sat on the deck anyway. I was out there for quite awhile taking pictures the birds that come to my feeders.

Tufted Titmouse with a big sunflower seed in his beak


Chick a dee dee dee


Mr. Cardinal, He was busy along with Mrs. Cardinal feeding baby chicks that were in the trees chirping away.


And a little hummer which I never get tired of watching!


 And here is Mr. & Mrs. wren. She was in and out of the house with bugs to feed the babies while Mr. sat outside and sang away. Here is a fun fact that I just learned from the Birds and Blooms magazine that I get. Most female birds don't sing. But the female cardinal does. She mostly sings while on the nest.

Impatiens that I have out on my deck. Hummers like these too!


These are 2 of my newest coin purses that I finished up yesterday. They are now listed in my etsy shop!
This is the second cat one that I've made, the first one sold last week. Well that's about all for now. Need to get cracking on more Halloween stuff this week.
