June 11, 2022 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

Gramma Izzie always fed "her birds" (wild birds), and I started doing it after she died. I'm still doing it. I have four feeders on the porch, and I recently put up a glass hanging birdbath (but the birds wouldn't go near it with water so I am using it as a feeder now and … Continue reading Bird treats

It fits now!

June 6, 2022June 2, 2022 / strivingacres / Leave a comment
