Recent Photos and Project intentions

Are you tired of coming here and finding I have not posted?  Me too.  I'm not sure why, guess I needed a break.  I have completely torn my kitchen apart so I can finally tile my back splash.  I have cardboard down and tile saws set up so next week I should get some tiling done.  There has been a tiling workbench sitting on my landing for well over a year now...........I am tired of it being there so the only way to get rid of it and the stacks of slate tile is to finish the project so I am highly motivated.

Our gate arrived Thursday for the driveway and we have two more rolls of fence to get up so this weekend will be fence weekend.

Here are a few of my latest photos in the meantime.

Common Merganser in breeding plumage.

Black-headed Grosbeak Male.  This is one of the feeders that has to go.

I'm afraid rats have discovered the feeders and are competing with the chickens for the seed that gets dropped.  I am taking down all but one feeder and I'll be building a large catch tray for the one that I'll leave up.

Excuse me?  The squirrel feeder has to go too. 

Pip.  I had to move the thistle feeder away from the fence too.

The bane of birdfeeders is feeding those unintended rodents. We have a skunk who likes to clean up under our feeders each day. Sigh.

Nice pics! Good luck with the tiling... we still haven't figured out our backsplash yet.
