Yesterday I got ready for today, St. Francis day, by cleaning out the summer's bird houses (I'll give several of them a new coat of paint this winter), tidying up the feeders, and making sure the bird baths are clean and filled with fresh water. This morning I sat outside to listen to the bird choir, and later on today I hope to buy some sun flower seeds, large enough as not to slip through the wire mesh bottom I installed in the new feeder I built yesterday. I'll try to get some striped seeds; they're usually quite large. Then too I want to make some suet cakes so that I'll have some when winter really comes along and the titmice, cardinals, woodpeckers, chickadees, sparrows, finches, and other assorted guests need for high-protein energy.As you might imagine, I like to wake up with the birds. If you'd like to see what such waking is like, visit the posting I made this morning at The Attentive Life. In the meantime, have a blessed St. Francis Day.
