IT WAS A NICE SUNNY DAY TO DISMANTLE OUR FRONT YARD BIRDFEEDING STATION

Sunshine:)) If I didn't say any more, that one word would be enough.  It's still cold but at least the countryside looked nice when Pheebs and I took a frosty morning's drive around a few snow-covered gravel roads earlier today.

 IT WAS GREAT TO SEE BLUE SKIES TODAY
 CRITTER TRACKS IN THE SNOW
 THERE IS A FARM POND IN THERE JUST WAITING TO GET THAWED OUT
  FOREST SHADOWS
I finished my latest book called The Crossover Experience: Life-After-Death/A New Perspective by DJ Kadagian, Dr. Pim van Lommel, and Gregory Shushan PhD.  This is the fifth book I have read on this subject matter and I would recommend it to anyone curious about this topic and especially if it is their first venture into this field of interest.  There are so many positive things I could say about this book's content but I suggest if anyone is interested in the subject they simply read the book (as well as others) and judge for themselves.  Years ago I had very little interest in this kind of thing but now at 78 years old and rounding turn four into the home stretch, this subject has taken on a lot of meaning for me.  And, it is an absolutely fascinating subject I may add.

The only thing of any significance I did today was to take down our bird station.  It's been up for about 4 years but with the Grackles back from the south now and swarming the feeder, I had to make some changes.  I've put up a smaller feeder on the black pole and I know that won't stop the Crackels but it has a smaller feeding surface and will be more discouraging for them in the long run.  I finished screwing on and bolting down that feeder to the pole about 2 p.m. and do you know I did not see one gol darn ding dang bird on that feeder for the rest of the day.  Not even a chickadee.  I think our front-yard bird gang is really cheesed off and I now fear retribution.  I may have to take both cars to the carwash in the morning to get all the birdie goop hosed off:((   

 WE HAD SOME MELTING GOING ON TODAY....MORE TOMORROW
 TODAY'S BLUE SKY CAN BE SEEN IN THESE COLORFUL ICICLES
 I WILL PUT THE BIRD STATION BACK UP NEXT OCTOBER
 KELLY MUST HAVE HAD HER SMARTPHONE CAMERA OUT AGAIN 
 SAY, D'YA SUPPOSE THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOME DIVINE INTERVENTION HELPING ME OUT HERE??
 WELL, WE'LL SEE HOW LONG THIS LATEST BIRDFEEDER SETUP LASTS OR IF IT WILL EVEN ATTRACT ANY BIRDS

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A frog telephones the Psychic Hotline and is told: "You are going to meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you."  The frog says: "This is great! Will I meet her at a party, or what?"  "No," says the psychic: "Next semester, in her biology class."

  3. There was definitely divine intervention. You were on the top step of the ladder (I know, it's a little step ladder) and you did not fall. Some good photos today, as usual.

  4. I think I'll just wait and learn first hand what life after death is all about. I like surprises. It's not good to mess with your birds' feeder.

    You asked about the pictures I took hiking Peralta Canyon.
    Yes I am. I was amazed at how well the pictures caught the beauty of this valley. I'm using a Galaxy S23 Ultra cellphone.
