Feathered Friends...

Nothing exciting going on here! Just getting all the laundry done and getting things ready for work tomorrow. Hubby made a wonderful stew for lunch...so that means I'll be eating it for lunch tomorrow. No problem there! I think it'll be cold again and something hot to eat is always welcomed.
I wandered around outside this afternoon and remembered I had a bag of birdseed in the garden storage cabinet...went to check it out and the date was still good on the bag so I dumped it all in an empty planter by the birdbath...Hahaa...I have feeders but being in the mode of "domestic goddess", I just dumped it all in the planter....WHAT??!!!LOL....Oh well. Now the birds can All get something to eat...all at once....LOL....geez...I'm going in for another cuppa coffee. Have a Wonderful night and I'll talk at you later!!

We planted so many sunflowers last year that I don't think our birds are going hungry yet. Odie is a very picky eater so anything he doesn't eat in his food dish gets tossed out for the wild birds. I'll probably have corn, peanuts, and no telling what else growing in my yard come Spring. :-)

I made shrimp and sausage gumbo for suppah, it was mighty fine!

Donna said...

Brenda- OhMy!! That gumbo sounds heavenly!!! Sweet Odie! You need to take his picture and post it soon! He's a cutie!
Happy sleep sweetie!hughugs

Isn't it a lovely feeling when you've fed the birds and then move away to secretly watch them enjoying your kindness. We have 2 bird feeders and I love filling them up!

I don't think it's possible to overfeed birds. The more food you put out, the more they eat, and the more of their friends they bring along too.

Donna said...

Crystal- Now if Only they'd hold still so I could get their picture!haha...Happy sleep sweetie!hughugs


Dabrah- Good! I put out 10lbs in one spot!Hahaa...Happy sleep sweetie!hughugs

HI Donna, I wanted to hop on over here and let you know that I mentioned you in my most recent post. I hope that's ok. Have a good night sweetie.

I would think the birds don't really care if the stuff is in the feeder or in an empty planter... as long as they can get to it!
Last winter I found a bag of birdseed I had forgotten I had, but a mouse had found it! He didn't get all of it, though. It wasn't usable as bird food, but we used it during an ice storm for traction. It worked!
(I keep the birdseed in plastic tubs now)

Lilli & Nevada said...

Oh i have been putting out the seeds today as well, with the snow we had the birds are really sitting out there trying to find food

Brit. (lille meg) said...

I am sure the birds was happy to get all this food! Well done!
Thank you for your kind comment to me. Have a wonderful day!

Lucy said...

I suppose the birds don't mind where their food is served. I agree is is fun to trow out the food and then watch from afar. That strew sound very yummy. My husband has cooked our dinners lately but the poor darling serves up the same over and over. I am grateful and after a long day at work it still tastes good.
Love and hugs XXXXOOOO

I just put out the birdseed from the Fall. They are probably having a tough time finding food in all of this snow.
