Enjoying the Little Things in Life

I have been putting out food for the birds this year. I don't normally do that. It's been fun to watch them crowd around and get into tussles over the seeds and other treats. I was about to let dogs out this am and saw several birds on the back steps by the empty dish. After the dogs were back in, I filled the dish with an assortment of seeds, berries and bread crumbs. By the time I slid the door shut, several birds were already after the food. I must have watched them for 15 minutes. The simple things are sometimes the best things in life

I wonder how far away bird word of mouth talks about your delightful bird retreat? 200 miles? 399 miles?

I had to keep the dogs in all day, except for some quick trips outside yesterday. This morning it was still cold, but with all the sunshine, and plenty of places to sun in. There was no wind either, it was cold, but not as cold as yesterday. Even the brats, I mean cats, have been out in the catio. I don't want to bring them inside too early, because I don't want to get up too early either... oh wait, I'm going to breakfast with the roommate, if I feel up to it... I swear, this getting old stuff...grrr

@caroldm I made some fresh pesto today - just a simple paste that gladdens the heart.

It is Saturday here and I have some houses chores and laundry to do. In the afternoon I will help my mom.

I've been called several times by friends, but it turns out that they only invite me to join the MLM business..

Nice you are having a simple and satisfying day.

I love the sentiment on that plate. A lot of truth in it. Your birds will be happy for taking good care of them. Have a blessed day.

I had plans for Saturday, but spent it mainly lazing around, after a quick bike ride for some essential cat shopping!

My day has been quiet too. I bundled up and went to the gym for a work out an When I got back a sister called and we had a long talk playing catch up.

Good to hear that, We don't have bird feeder, but my sister keep a bowl of water on the top fence for Birds

Seems you had a nice productive yet relaxing enjoyable day! Catching up with friends, check. Donations, check. Taking care of the bird's needs, check. Yep, mission accomplished

It's a beautiful photo. That was a nice gift you got. You are very kind to donate and help out. I hope the family had a fire insurance that can help them now.

I hope you have a nice day! :)

The last 3 days have been tough for me as my wife is having severe pain in the back.

Hello there. It is always good to have a good talk with an old friend sometimes. I am sure the birds are very happy

How nice to look at the birds eating chirping liking of the fresh nuts. Are they coming everyday or they're just near you?

Feeling sorry for those victims of fire. They'll go back to zero I hope they can move on.

That's a beautiful little plaque. I'm glad you are donating items to the family that lost their home. That's very kind of you.

It is nice gift.
