These are just so beautiful Sharon Thank you!

My pleasure, Vic.
Also about the only thing I am capable of doing in this weather! Pretty easy to just sit inside and zoom through the glass door! I cleaned a spot on the glass, btw!!

I am just SO GLAD you're feeling better

Velcro-ed to the heating pad!!
Magic, it is.

My birds have been hungry and putting on a great show this winter, too! Love the photos, Sharon!

It has been a tough winter for them too, I think. Mine have feasted all day long today. Deck is covered with birds, the poor squirrels don't have a chance.

I have a wood pecker too, but he's jittery and I haven't been able to get his picture.
Thanks Jill.

The birds have been ravenous even here this winter. I love your bright ornaments on the tree.

So colorful, and lively, too. We have feeders but I also scatter chicken scratch in some open areas for the quail and other birds that prefer to eat off the ground. One year we had about a dozen Lazuli Buntings. They stayed about a month, through the worst part of the winter. Then one day they were gone and I haven't seen a Bunting in years.

Lucky you! I would love to have seen a Lazuli Bunting.

Me too!

Such beautiful birds! Just wish we had colorful ones here. Sorry you aren't feeling well, Sharon. I'd love to send some sunny weather to you. We might as well say we didn't have a winter this year. Was in the 60's for a few days then slowing climbing back up to the 80's. I'm not going to like a hot summer again.

HI Pegi, I'm worried about your water out there, I sure wish you'd get some rain. And I'd send you some of my cardinals if I could!

I'm fine now, just had a bad time with my back last week. I blamed it on the snow and ice, but the truth is, I wasn't even outside in it, so I guess I'll have to mark it up to aging! It's just hard to admit the aging thing. Thanks for asking.

So good to see you again, my friend. You take care and I'll be wishing you rain.
