Small suet to go, please

It's a beautiful afternoon, although still too chilly for our taste. We were just back from a short walk and saw this red-bellied woodpecker grabbing a meal to go. Usually we get pictures of them staying still, so we thought we'd post an action shot for a change.

Return of the Beaver

 

Spring must be here. The man-made dam has not yet been fixed, so Lake Nelson is still a stream. This morning we spotted the beaver swimming up the stream. Perhaps he'll make a dam so we can enjoy the lake again.

This is Chickie, the chicken that adopted Chris's sister, Marilyn.  Chris has six siblings, and they all enjoy their backyard birds and other critters.  We don't have details on the species of Chickie, but in this case that's not what matters.  This is a small example of how having a blog can just simply be a fun way of sharing common interests and story telling and not worrying too much about technicalities.  For instance, Chris has no idea why this text is centering (she doesn't read code), but she's posting it anyway.  Mike is the technical brains behind our blog and does 99 percent of the posts, while Chris just stands around and tells him which pictures make her smile more.  The moral of this story: We're ready for spring migration - we're posting beavers and chickens!
