Seeing more birds flocking to the feeder near the front door of the barndo, I'm considering adding another feeder that I can see from my desk in the office/family room. The feeder addition presents 2 specific challenges... If I can see birds on the feeder, that means...
I posted yesterday about birds first appearing at the feeder and shared a quick shot with my iPhone of a female Cardinal there for the grub. Today, I grabbed my Canon camera to see if I could nab a few more. Still rushed and through the storm door's glass... The...

This evening I got a FB message from the chick who bought the Villa. It asked for my honest opinion on new flooring going down in the house I designed and had built, struggled to pay for, and called home for some 35-years. Before the photo came through and after she...
