it's raining again

i was trying to take a picture of the squirrels eating the bird seed.  every time i tried to sneak in close enough, they ran away.  the feeder that is wide open and fairly low to the ground must be too easy.  they were hanging upside down on the tube feeder instead.  i did see a few gold finches yesterday, but so far it is mostly squirrels. 


this is NOT one of our squirrels, but since i had none to post.....

more springiness


i figured it was time to fill the bird feeders
the birds are constantly chirping and flying around.
you can't see it here,
but is a wasp flying around the feeder.
he was starting a home inside while it was empty.
now there is no entrance,
seeds in the way.



you just know that the squirrels and chipmunks are going to eat most of this



this feast of oranges and grape jelly is supposed to attract orioles
on their way through town this month



yesterday i went to kmart and got these cute flip flops and moccasins.
i have been looking for a pair of moccasins for a long, long time.
if you can enlarge the picture, you can see my pedicure decoration,
also, the imprint of the socks i was wearing just before i decided to model my shoes.


this is the smoothie i made for my self this morning.
banana
strawberries
mango
yogurt
milk
