Mealtime, the Best Time of the Day

Winter can be a quiet time in the garden, except for the bird feeder. If I put food out, the birds will come and delight me with their antics.

And it’s not just the birds…our resident squirrel comes almost every day. How can I get angry at this nimble fellow?

It’s a race to see who gets there first!

Some prefer to sit right in the feeder, like this chipmunk who fills his cheeks and then scampers off.

I try to offer a variety of food like thistle, which the sparrows and finches love.

Coming in for a landing!

Some prefer to dine in…

…while others prefer to grab and go!

God gave them each such a different personality, but they all make me smile!
