Just another day at the Bird feeder!🙄
Now that he’s found it he may stick around; watching him and the Magpies harass each other is pretty cool.
This is an immature one and a first for us, we have had a couple Ravens in the past but usually just the usual Magpies, some woodpeckers and the little birds; who are the reason for the feeder in the first place.

When i went out to re-load the bird feeder (for Thanksgiving) this little Red Breasted Nuthatch greeted me, not the least bit afraid! Makes me feel good to see the little birds actively working on the bones!

While fixing our dinner yesterday i found this Lady bug inside a head of Romaine, which is kinda common. We always soak the produce in a weak peroxide bath and drain before refrigerating then as i peel off the leaves for a meal i’ll rinse them again and this is when i found her. Well, i just left her in the sink till i was done with the meal prep then took a closer look and noticed movement! So; i scooped her up, giving her a crude form of artificial respiration and turned her loose in a potted mint plant. 🙄
This morning she was easily found patrolling her new neighborhood.
If life is not to her liking in the mint it’s a quick hop over to the 4 Cucumber plants.

Well, it got up to 42f today with some Sun! Sorry @heirloomgal; i know your struggling!
Everybody’s roof is dripping and it’s entirely comfortable outside. Comfortable enough that if this stays another day (and it’s suppose to) i might gather up a fly rod and head down to a local creek that will still have flowing water.🙄

Hahaha, not really Alasgun, we've been spoiled so far this winter. Everyone around us though is having a hard time. But I'll be curious to see how this winter unfolds since even Texas was issued a frigid winter warning!
Creek fishing! What fun! 😍 Kids and I went to a still flowing creek today too. So pretty!
