This morning I awoke after a night of listening to rain and thunder and watching lightening light up our bedroom window. It was actually warmer I think when I arose because I was on our screened-in porch reading my latest book (have to finish up the actual books before I can use my Kindle). I luckily filled the bird feeders last night so I would not have to deal with wet bird feeders this morning. The birds were coming fast, along with the squirrels and chipmunks. Those pesky blue jays can sure chase off some good birds. I spent part of the morning visiting with Harri then back to the cabin with my camera to set up some pics possibly for some painting ideas.
I want to incorporate these things into a painting as the clothes pin bag is from the Purina Feed Store that my grandfather had and the kettle was his grandmothers. While snapping pictures I spied a pair of blue buntings and when I was about through a Baltimore Oriole on the suet feeder (I think). These are real good shots but you might be able to tell.
I am not going to read any blogs or comment till tomorrow as I'M FREEZING and just wanted to at least post a entry but that is all my little fingers and tootsies can take today.

You're so lucky to have all those beautiful birds at your feeder. Lots of people set out bird feeders in Illinois when we lived there including us. Very few do here because the birds can be a nuisance. I still love to look at them and enjoy them but not at our house because they are forever trying to nest where you don't want them to.
P.S. I hope it starts to warm up for you.
I really love the bag and kettle together. Can't wait to see you working on this one.
hope you're keeping warm.
I could have written your exact words today...BRRRRR.....it's cold here today in wisconsin !!

We are survivors though! The sales and interest from so many wonderful people have made the death of the tent ok!
And I love the first pick of the sangster sack and the pitcher :) I think it would be fun to do and cool to have!
Thanks for stopping by my blog on my SITS day!! Hope you warm up a bit! We had a cool front come in this weekend too, but I really enjoyed it!
