Bunny and I had a discussion about his propensity for eating pincushion flowers. We came to a truce when he decided grass would work for his breakfast.
Mrs. Squirrel is eating for herself and her little family, so the birds and I tolerated her when she was hogging the feeder.
The blue jays swooped in as soon as they heard me filling their feeder with peanuts. They are so fun to watch as they grab a nut and fly off to crack it open.
The goldfinches have come back down from the treetops and are sporting the brightest yellow plumage. I had a finch at every food port for most of the day, but they're very shy when the camera comes out. This little guy was quite brave.
Once I finished with the animals, weekend chores called my name. No more time for piddling!
