Birds etc lol...

 

Hadn't felt very good lately

so it felt good to get back in the 

carport and do a lil project etc...

I think it turned out alright.

Honey likes it so

thats all that matters.

:-).

(Others do as well.)

Mr. Nuthatch here

is about to have a feast

if he ever gets around to it lol.

I reloaded up his log feeder.

Every hole has a mix of

crushed peanuts, raisins

and peanut butter,

with songbird seed as the topping lol.

Yeah our birds are spoiled lol.

He is the only one 

we have seen on that particular

"Log feeder."

I keep hoping we get a big woodpecker on it 

but so far no luck.

Nuthatches are cool though.

"Gravity defying"

they have been called.

They can walk upside down,

hang on bottoms of limbs,

pinecones etc.

When I went to get the phone to take the picture

he was hanging sideways off of the tree

picking at the suet with his beak lol.

Off subject lol.

Beans and cornbread yesterday.

OMGoodness so good.

Tons of pig fat lol.

2 big old onions chopped up too.

Double batch of cornbread.

Oil heated up in the 

cast iron skillet first.

Let it sit for 5 minutes

when it was done.

Took a spatula and

 "popped" it out

of the skillet

so it doesn't "sweat".

I don't quite get it

I think it has to do with 

putting some air 

between the cornbread and 

the skillet so it doesn't 

just keep cooking.

It was a mom thing.

Works lol.

It was good.

Real good.

Cheap eats man.

I crave it 

every once in a while.

11 different feeders.

Counting the sunflower heads as well.

One of which cant hardly be seen.

We love our tree.

We really do.

In the late afternoon

or early evening, 

the sun hits it just right.

Just happened to catch it yesterday 

at the right time.

Ill have to try and get another one 

when the leaves turn more here in a bit.

Honey calls it the 

"Flintstone feeder"

due to the privative look lol.

Split a piece of firewood in half

and hollowed out the bottom

for the food "trough"

Slapped it together 

with some other

smaller limbs, 

put a piece of scrap metal 

on the top

just for shits and giggles.

A couple of pieces of hardware

 and some chain later and:

Walla.

Different kinda log feeder.

Lol.

Got the ideas from 

"Birds and Blooms" on line.

I subscribe to their emails etc

so it's pretty fun.

That feeder was probably 

less than $5 to make.

Point was

it felt good 

to be able

to have some energy

and wanna get around 

and work on a few things.

It had been a while.

God Bless.

Love ya everybody.
