First Day of Spring 2021

I had no plans to do a blog and was looking forward to some down time. I was shooting a few pictures here and there but not necessarily planning a blog. Then the storms that blew across the midwest went through here. It was quite blustery but not really a classic Nor’Easter and didn’t even earn a name. However it did result in more landscaping by wind. It seems this is becoming a theme for us unfortunately.

Landscaping by Wind

We needed to get the tree taken care of asap because it had fallen on other trees we hoped to save.

The wind landscaping opened up a big area and we plan to take advantage of it by planting more fruit trees. I asked for a mulberry tree or two.

BOIDS

The birds think it is spring. The light is better and I keep trying to improve my picture taking efforts with the current tech. It is just fun to see all the birds that come to our feeders.

Mockingbird ……….. MINE!

I was not not certain about identifying this bird but an adult happened by for comparison.

Fun with Benji

A neighbor introduced us to feeding toys from Outward Hound and we got one for Benji. We like to distract him while we are at the table eating dinner.
