I feed the birds year round, so I think this is great information.
Yesterday, I asked Handsome to stand near the back door and watch as I did my daily feeder refill. You see, every time I stand under the old Apple tree to put birdseed into the feeders, I repeat "chickadee dee dee". Soon after, a wee chickadee flutters onto a branch above me and returns its call.
Yesterday, two landed, chirping close enough for me to touch them. It really is magical! Handsome admitted that if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he may not have believed it.
I'll be adding some of these treats to their feeders this winter.
In other news - Jan and I have all the shelves and fabric downstairs as planned. (Whew!) Next, I'll fill nail holes and spot paint the fabric room which will become Jan's bedroom.
Some of my needlework supplies will remain in her room, but we'll clean out the closet, and I'll work on the integrated studio space to make sure we can get her bed out of the attic (which will have to pass through that room. That will happen tomorrow and Friday because I don't work again until Friday night. We'll really make some progress, beginning when I get home from work today!
See you tomorrow!
