Happy Halloween

We had the most amazing visitor to our garden Saturday {October 29th}

he had been sleeping
but sensing us all looking at him :-)
he woke {albeit ever so slightly}
what an absolute honour it felt to have him in our garden.
I moved between my camera and IPad taking photos
I will forever look at that spot in our garden and remember him sitting there.
such beauty!


a walk to the park in the afternoon with Archer had me heading home with hands full of leaves
Archer enjoying the glorious Saturday weather
dried sunflowers look so beautiful I think
especially since they attract so many birds
who can now enjoy the seeds
a little front porch vignette
wellie boots
leaf roses
I have a vase filled with these leaf roses
because they are addictive & once you start, it is hard to stop
... and our garden Maple is shaking off her leaves so I only need step out my front door to gather more leaves :-)
this pumpkin will come in later this afternoon ~ I always leave one without a face and simply push holes all around the pumpkin {using an apple corer} ... it looks so pretty with a candle inside flickering through the holes.
Archer's costume for welcoming the trick or treaters  to our home tonight

A furry feast ...

This was the scene Christmas morning ...
the only thing left of the garland was a small strand of Cheerios.
I do hope the birds managed to get a few nibbles!
I thought he looked so cute with his "candy necklace" :-)
Little bits of loose twine hung from the branches with
no food in site. On the ground were a few orange/tangerine peels.
The only proof that there was ever garlands of food strung on the tree.
yes, I think this proves that our squirrels are
very well fed :-)

Thankful {things I love} Thursday ...

Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house ...
garlands were being strung for our garden birdie tree ♥
One of our family traditions is to string fruits and peanuts and "Santa button" cookies
and hang the garlands outside for the birds (and squirrels)
The garlands are a bit different every year because we use what we have.
Popcorn * Cranberries* Dates* Figs* Apple slices* tangerine * oranges* Peanuts in their shell*
strung outside
to be enjoyed
tiny little "Santa button" cookies are always added
something for everyone to enjoy
fresh blocks of suet for the wire  baskets
and feeders filled
we were thrilled to have 3 Blue Jays in our garden this afternoon
so they will be happy to find lots of peanuts in their shell as part of the garland
and strands of Cheerios ... I love these
and they are perfect for stringing with little ones :-)
Merry Christmas feathered friends ♥
~all creatures great and small~
