WOW! Those are incredible photos, ragdall, and such beautiful birds. Are you a professional photographer? Thanks so much for sharing. I *wish* we had such a variety and as many birds when we put out our feeders in the winter.

Eisely, your house is the kind I just love...lots of beautiful character. I love the archway alcove with the wonderful piano, the floors, windows, etc. Really a wonderful looking home.

Our son continues decluttering the huge backyard. He's now hauled away over 40 wheelbarrow's full of old sticks, leaves, etc. and dumped them in an old garden area at the very back where we've dumped what compost we've had over the years. That is a large space in itself which we may some day turn over, but it will take a lot. Next we are going to look at the budget and decided whether we can handle getting an irrigation pump and grass seed and he will plant it for us. I could finally have a pleasing backyard!
