Garden Thursday

 All of us are enjoying the weather. The only thing is we aren't getting bright sunshine cuz lots of smoke in the air from the fires out west. 

Mum has been trying to keep the fevvers happy. She always keeps some foods out all year long but not lots but this time of year as the natural foods gets less. So cuz of that we are seeing more fevvers. 

First is the goldyfinches. First the boy goldy fevvers are showing it is fall. They are molting over to the winter color. 

Here you can see one little guy around the head and back getting all drab from the bright yellow. Mum usually doesn't catch the fall change over, but she catches the spring one as it is one of the sign of spring coming. 

Here is a whole bunch of goldy finches on the feeder sack with nyger seed. Mum had a bunch from afore stored but they didn't eat. So mum tossed all of it and got some fresh. Now they are eating. Guess the other stuff got old. 

Then we got a visit from Blue Jay. We often hear them but during the summer they usually aren't at the feeder. Now they are back and mum feels she can put out the big in the shell peanuts. 

Now that is has cooled off mum needs to get cracking at the garden shut down. Start early and get it over with for the year. Hopefully not mishaps like last year with breaking an ankle. 

By next week fall with officially be here, feeling like fall now. 

Stay safe, stay healthy, please wear a mask.
