:)I'm sitting at my computer and am witnessing something so cute that I wanted to share it with you.
Right outside my window, we have a birdfeeder and bath. There are four golden finches eating out of the birdfeeder and two were just in the bath. They are so cute and it is fun watching them. They are only about a foot from the window. You would think they were having a "gourmet" meal.
My husband just said "it is a family"! The little one is being fed by his mother and the others are just waiting.
In the back of our house, we also have a birdfeeder and we see many Blue Jays, Cardinals, Woodpeckers and even a Blue Bird. They just seem to hang around waiting for the food.
They are surely God's creatures!
Forgot to add that we see deer, raccoons, possums, rabbits and squirrels in the backyard too besides the birds.
I live in the suburbs and we are so surprised to see all the birds and animals in our backyard. Right down the street are stores and restaurants.

I love living in a rural community and seeing deer, cows, horses, fox and so many other types of farm, field and woodland animals every day. We even have bear that wander from the woods, through the yards and onto porches on a fairly regular basis. But I guess you don't have to live on a farm in western NY to see bear because I heard there was one wandering through Mahopac not too long ago.

Does running around the house naked once in awhile count as a nature lover ?.

Jimmy,
That's why I still do the raincoat on the subway trick; but, it's dangerous today everyone has a cell phone camera. With my luck the picture would be front page and then I'd be humiliated.

This year a bird made it's nest in my hanging begonia and I was afraid to water the plant . all the eggs hatched and they were cute but my plant took a beating.

Some wrens (I think?) built a nest in the begonias (?), laid some eggs, hatched them, fed them... great fun watching. One morning my wife comes screaming into the bedroom to wake me. I thought we had a home invasion going on. Turns out a three foot long black snake had managed to, somehow, get up the side of the house and into the planter. I got there just in time to see the snake with 4 bumps in its belly, slither across the backyard. My wife was upset for a week. Nature! Ya just gotta love it!  |
