| Oh my goodness here it is, the holiday season arrives, | | | | Luckily I managed to get all the bird baths put away |
| Christmas is just around the corner and I'm so glad I'm | | | | for the winter before "the terrorists" came through. |
| not a turkey! The raccoons have been in the garden, | | | | The pond is still available and they play in that, I get to |
| we have renamed them "the terrorists". I have no | | | | listen to the dog grumble at them for most of the night. |
| surviving birdhouses or birdfeeders left, luckily there is | | | | I have to admit I would rather have "the terrorists" than |
| still so much natural food around no one is going | | | | the local bears. We have one male the size of a |
| hungry. | | | | Volkswagen, eek , I stepped out on the porch to check |
| There is actually a good side to the loss of all my | | | | out a noise and he was strolling through the yard, the |
| wonderful decorative birdfeeders, I get to get new | | | | dog barked at him and he strolled off, they never |
| ones, how fun! Not only that, but when friends ask | | | | seem to get too riled up by anything, thank goodness. |
| what I want for Christmas I have something concrete | | | | As soon as it snows seriously I will put out the heated |
| to tell them. Get me some brand new, fabulous, | | | | birdbaths so that my residents, (no visitors this time of |
| decorative birdfeeders, in any size, design or color for | | | | year) can get enough water. The bears, who also get |
| big birds and little birds, please. I get to remodel the | | | | into the birdfeeders, hibernate soon but the raccoons |
| yard. Well maybe it's more like urban renewal than | | | | don't, they just seem to disappear mid winter for |
| remodeling. | | | | awhile so I can put up my new decorative birdfeeders. |
