Honoring my Dad on Saturday Critters

This morning I'm  sharing with Eileen's Saturday Critters party.  I have so enjoyed feeding the birds and discovering new neighbors in the  hood...I guess I  got my love  for the birds from my daddy.  Dad was  one of the most tender-hearted men I've ever known... He loved animals  and cared for them all of the years I knew him!  After I left home, he and mom moved back to the country where they were raised and  took up a bit of  gardening and enjoying nature.. He got great comfort from his two dogs   who  so enjoyed  the free range of the country side..especially Big Red!

 and later it was, whom I considered my little brother,,  Matthew!HEHEHEH
                 Dad also loved to  care for the birds..

These photos are from online,  but  are very reminiscent of  his  garden!  He and my mom  loved  spending time in their garden!!!

 Here on the home front we continue to deal with pesky squirrels..  They a re so smart and  determined..  They  invariably  jump up on the  feeders and  juggle them until all the food  falls out of the ground, great for the foragers,  but  I enjoy the feeders...We are shopping this week for  a squirrel proof feeder if we can find one we  think will work!
The catbird wonders, what's going on here... 
 Miss Dove is just as happy to forage,
Mr. Cardinal keeps look out while his bride does a bit of foraging..

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
