NOTES FROM THE ISLE OF LEWIS IN SCOTLAND'S OUTER HEBRIDES AND ANYWHERE ELSE I HAPPEN TO FIND MYSELF

GB - I am so sorry to hear about your son...I am guessing it was a while ago, but I am sure the sadness is still there.
ReplyDeleteI'm sending you a hug!

They are delightful, GB.
ReplyDeleteThat poor doesn't get much rest, does she. Even when the youngsters aren't squabbling, they look like they are about to.
I have a suggestion: Put up a sign at the birdfeeder saying - Please eat the midges first and then I'll give you get some extra yummy seeds for dessert! ;)
ReplyDeleteThese photos are delightful! You did a great job taking these. They make me smile.
ReplyDeleteI'm going through a LOT of seed as well. This year has brought so many sparrows, many more than I've had in years past. I've also been putting out suet & the house finches, thrashers, and cactus wrens love it!
So lovely. I've come over all maternal-like.
