Day 233
Today is Sunday, today is run errands today. This afternoon we went to Petco for a suet for the backyard birds*, dry food for the kitties and fish food. After hitting Petco we hit Home Depot for the birdseed for the birds and critter food for the squirrels and chipmunks. After Home Depot there was Target and Shop Rite for essentials. As you see it was an exciting day full of thrilling adventures. *laughs* Er, well at least us and the kitties, fishes, birds and critters will be well fed.
How was your Sunday?
* I’m hoping to attract finches in addition to our jays and cardinals.
niger seeds for finches:

and patience….it takes finches time to find the feeder

and even more time to be comfortable enough to hang around…but their song is so worth it
also…don’t be discouraged by what looks like baby cardinals at first…it’s really house finches
