Window Bird Feeder!

-

I just hung my new window bird feeder! I had the exact same one previously. In fact, my sister gave it to me for Christmas! She must have done a lot of research to find a good one because the suction cups never let go on this feeder, and the feeder itself lasted for a few years! That is, until a HUGE squirrel started hanging out on it! See details, below! The weight of the squirrel eventually caused the suction cups to release and when the feeder, with the squirrel still in it, crashed down to the ground, it broke! I kept trying to scare him away but he didn’t care that I was there! Not one bit! And I didn’t want to take it down and deprive my little feathered friends who frequented it between the squirrel’s visits there! In hindsight, I should have removed it until the squirrel stopped looking for it. And this is what I plan to do if any squirrels decide to try to take over it again! 

I wanted to wait until the warmer weather was here to hang it up since suction cups typically don’t do well in the cold months when it comes to just the initial installation. But once hung up, these suction cups will hold year round! It’s just that you want to do the initial installation during warmer weather. It got up to the mid 70’s today and it was nice and sunny out too. Perfect day to install it! I can’t wait gif my feathered friends to see it and stop by for some treats as I work! I work from home and I sit right next to this window in my home office! It usually only takes the birds a day or two to find it. 

In the past, I have had so many various breeds of birds visit here! It’s so fun to watch them! I have too many photos and videos on my phone, which made it challenging to locate a even just a few photos and videos for this blog! Looking forward to this again! 

The following photos and videos were taken previously with the old feeder in place. But, like I said, I got the same exact feeder and will post more blogs with new photos and videos as I’m able to obtain them! Enjoy! 






And my buddy squirrel who broke my first window bird feeder! Funny, yes; but not funny that shortly after these photos, my old window bird feeder was history! 









And a few videos!

Too Much Rain!

We are getting way too much rain! Plus we had a snow melt with all of this rain! The yard is a mess! When walking down to the chicken coop, the lawn is so soft and squishy! I had to wear boots because my feet would have gotten drenched with regular footwear just walking across the lawn! No drought here!  Areas out front:  Our walkway from driveway to front of house! Crazy!   Areas out back:  I am glad the chicken run is relatively dry!  The first year with my chickens, they were all sinking in mud here! I had to add many bags of fine gravel, followed by many bags of sand to raise the ground level a few inches inside the run! It still wasn’t quite enough so I had to add many more bags of sand a couple more times until I could get the ground was raised enough to stay puddle-free! All in all, I raised the ground here about 7 inches from what it was! It was a lot of work! I can’t recall exactly how many bags of gravel plus sand were used. I’m guessing I used about 30, 50-pound bags of grav

Deck Work

We are in the process of replacing the deck boards and railings, as well as adding additional supports in various spots to enhance the strength of the deck over time. It was tough removing the old deck boards and getting the new ones into position. The new boards are pressure-treated and are 20 feet in length, so each board was very heavy and difficult to maneuver. Once we had the boards in place it took about 800 deck screws to secure them! That’s a lot of screwing, LOL! We still have the last two end boards to install, as well as the new railings, and then we need to work on the stairs. We are going with premade railings which will be easier to install after trimming them to fit properly. Since the trailer is tied up with the scrap boards and railings, we have to run to the dump when they’re open I was hoping to finish before the end of vacation but we decided to take a break and head up to New Hampshire to visit our son and his family!  Here is the progress so far!  We had the 20-fo

Christmas Decorating in Progress!

-

This year I decided to make some changes with some of my Christmas decorations! The old outdoor strings of lights needed to be replaced. One string no longer worked last year and I figured the others might not might not make it through another season. I have always enjoyed the multicolor lights but I know my husband loves blue lights so I decided to go with blue. They are very pretty but, to me, not as “Christmasy” as the multicolored lights. I could go to the store to get multicolored lights to replace them but it is just too much work at this point! We will remain decorated in blue for this Christmas anyway! LOL!!  But the highlight of my Christmas decorating this year is my new, pre-lit, artificial Christmas Tree! I had been using a pre-lit, artificial Christmas tree that I have had for at least ten years, possibly closer to 15 years! But it was only seven feet tall and looked really tiny in my post and beam living room with super high ceilings!  My new tree is twelve feet tall! And
