    Helping out the birds

    March 21, 2011 - By 

    My friend Helen sent me an email today reminding me about helping the birds now at nesting season. I KNOW I’ve seen others in previous years set out a basket of goodies for the birds to use but for the life of me I couldn’t find any of their posts. Of course I may be mistaking one blog for another in my searches. I read A LOT of blogs!

    Anyway..in my search to find the sweet basket posts for Helen, I came across another simple solution.
    Since I had a nearly empty bag of lemons, I opted for this solution.

    I added:

    • yarn scraps
    • thread
    • ribbon
    • dryer lint
    • torn fabric strips
    • Spanish moss

    I took a crochet hook to pull some scraps partially out so they’d be more visible for the birds. Not sure if this is needed but I did it anyway.

    I hope to see some nests with some fun colors while on my walks this year!!

    Just a walk in the park

    February 28, 2011 - By 

    It’s such a beautiful day!! It’s bright and sunny. A perfect day for a walk.
    I love how warm the sun is this time of year in comparison to the air temp.

    After going to get water at the spring I stopped by a local park to take a little nature walk.

    I don’t think there will be any picnics today.

    This is where the canoes are usually stored.

    This cute little squirrel stopped to posed for me…wasn’t that sweet.
