A Break for Some Sun

We will get back to the Veteran's Home for part two, tomorrow. 

We have had three beautiful, sunny days, when a week ago, 

we were predicted to have a foot of snow. 

On the beautiful days, the birds go elsewhere to eat, pretty much. 

However, we have a nice feeding area now. 

Son Jim, Jax and Jacob came over Sunday to help me. 

Here is the feeding area now... a nyger feeder and a hanging feeder on 

the near pole, and then a suet cake, and a seed/suet feeder on the pole closer to the patio. 

I am going to clean the patio up over the next two weeks, and Jacob will come and help. 

Looking out from the doorway at the garden/pond/feeding area.  

We had a lot of wind last night, and quite a bit of rain (and I forgot to get the bucket out of the picture), and the little pond is "full" again.  It has been frozen for a few weeks. 

The iris I bought from Comanche Acres last fall are looking good. .  I can't wait to see them 

up.  

I need to clean this garden area up very well, and I have an edging shovel that Jacob will be using. 

  

We saw these two big boys at a stable up the street from us as we came home Sunday.  I know everyone is ready for fresh, green grass! 

Tomorrow we will show the rest of our walk through the National Cemetery.
