December 31:With his empty bucket in hand, Richard heads back from putting out Food for the Quail. Our little offerings include Corn, Wheat and Sunflower Seeds. He usually puts out Food once a day, unless we are in a really Cold Spell. Weather forecasts bitter cold the next few days.
Evidence suggests that others of our Wildlife Community who also call this Little Farm Home are enjoying the Feed: Squirrels (whose Condos are high in the Trees close by), Rabbits, Deer, Turkey, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Chickadees, Titmice, Crows, Starlings, House Sparrows, and who knows what else.
I only see 1 thing missing in this picture. Usually Ladd is eagerly dancing about, probably the able assistance that only a loyal Shepherd Dog can. I am not sure where he is.
Last summer, when we had the new Windows put in, we put in 2 Windows instead of 1 on the South Side of the Dining Room. While I took this from the Porch, this is our approximate view from that area of the House over Cups of Tea, Quiet Meditation and Gentle Conversation. This is also the area where I saw the Coyote yesterday. We need to get those screens off the Windows to give the Humans a better view.
