    Aloha everyone,

    I've had to go out in the garden this morning, at 4 a.m., as the crows have been redesigning the heavy duty wire peanut feeder. They have managed to pull two of the wires out from where they are fixed to the base, then bend them apart, and remove whole peanuts. I've made a temporary fix by putting them back and screwing a plate over where they meet the base - but I think they'll soon have defeated that. :sad: I don't want to shoot them as I have become attached to them over the last 14 years. I even have names for them as the three of them have distinctive differences. Spot is the leader of them and has always been the most inventive, and destructive, of them. He doesn't take any notice of what I tell him he is not allowed to do. :nonofinger:

    Keep well :biggrin:

    Aloha!

      Going morning all, @shiney I'm afraid I don't like crows they harm the smaller birds. Have a good day all keep safe and well. God bless. :-)

        Good day
        Our blue jays are also nasty to smaller birds. Raiding their nests and eating eggs or chicks. We lost most of our crows to west nile a few years back so don't see many of them.

        It is going to be a day with a "mix of sun and cloud" which looks like more sun than cloud and a high of 68-70f. Ideal for puttering around outside. And I hope I get all of my inside chores and then errands done by noon :)

        Our fabric shops just reopened and I want to buy some bright fabric for purse linings. I had to set that new craft I want to try, to the side so as to take care of business. I do still have some work in house but luckily the major jobs are behind me :phew:

        I have another two loaves of bara brith in the oven right now. Later this afternoon I'm going to pick up a take out meal from a friend/restaurant owner/son of Welsh people and I want to take him a loaf. Those are so good and filling too. A piece, well buttered as recommended, will keep me feeling full for the whole morning :dbgrtmb:

        Have a lovely day all. I plan to!

          Good morning all up with the birds this morning. No I have been up and down all night I really shouldn't drink tea after five o'clock in the afternoon. Have a good day all, stay safe and well.
          God bless. :wub2:

            Aloha everyone,

            It was lovely working in the dawn chorus from 4.30 to 5.30. We're going to have a warm and sunny day for when our friends shall be here - distancing, of course.

            I have someone coming for plants and honey at 8.45 but no other punters today.

            Keep well and enjoy the warm weather for the next week. :biggrin:

            Aloha!

              Good day
              It is cool this morning.47f. But it is dry and will be sunny and up to 65f, according to the weather guessers.

              I've got lots of little jobs and puttering to do and enjoy this type of day. I did purchase colourful lining fabrics yesterday to make purses or wallets and would like to get to them but I refuse to be inside when it is so nice outside and that bit of fun will have to wait for cloudy, rainy days.

              I hope everyone has a pleasant day :)

                  Aloha everyone,

                  Yesterday was a hot sunny one and we had four friends round for the day (9 hours) and carefully social distancing. A lovely day was had by all.

                  It has already reached 70F (8.30 a.m.) and I have the sprinkler on some of the veggies. The blackbirds are playing in the spray :)

                  My shoulder is bad this morning so not much gardening for me unless my personal masseuse can sort it out for me. I have put an appointment in her diary for me at 10 a.m. :heehee:

                  We have the regular big, chaotic, cousins' Zoom today (about 40 of us). Fortunately it only lasts 40 minutes. :rolleyespink:

                  Keep well :biggrin:

                  Aloha!

                        Good day
                        Another cool sunny day is promised for me. I have a few things to tend to and a little shopping to do but nothing urgent so all in all, another day of puttering :)

                        I hope everyone has a good day and now that a bit of socializing is allowed, keep that 6 foot pole handy to keep guests at proper distance :blue thumb:

                            Hope everyone is keeping well. You have my full sympathy @shiney as my arm ,shoulder and back are still causing me a lot of discomfort too.
                            I am keeping very busy out in the garden , albeit that everything is taking me a lot longer to complete but at least it takes my mind off of other things during the time I'm out there.
                            Enjoy your day.:spinning:

                                Lovely sunny day again. :SUNsmile:

                                My back and shoulders bad again today but after having done some work outside they have eased off. :blue thumb:

                                Going back out again now.

                                Keep well :biggrin:

                                Aloha!
