I like that feeder ! Yes we are waiting for a snow,rain ,freezing rain storm to hit , the birds were in a feeding frenzy earlier as they can sense when a storm is coming ! Have a good day !
We had rain this morning, looks like it cleared off though as the sky is blue, for now :) Lovely picture, such a pretty bird feeder. I'm sure those feathered friends will be back soon to enjoy it.
Beautiful feeder, Jo. My birds are here by the truck-full lately... Now--with severe weather coming tonight, the birds must know it since they are flocking to the feeders.
To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man's life.

Contentment is not the fulfillment of what we want,
but the realization of how much we already have.
Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.

Now winter nights enlarge
This number of their hours;
And clouds their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.
Let now the chimneys blaze
And cups o'erflow with wine,
Let well-tuned words amaze
With harmony divine...

On the vine, -- some afternoon
Like to jes' git out and rest,
And not work at nothin' else!"

“Do all the good you can,

In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,

To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”

Question not, but live and Labour Till yon goal be won, Helping every feeble neighbour, Seeking help from none; Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone, Kindness in another's trouble, Courage in your own.

Glad you're having rain and not snow!
The first time to pass by. Your blog is a feast for the eyes and the feelings.
I am enjoying the Florida sunshine right now, but it's raining at home, washing everything clean...
We avoided most of the snow that the rest of England had, but yesterday torrential hail storms. Not surprisingly, few takers here either!
the birdies will be there soon.
