~ Birds and Blooms ~





I love this photo that I was fortunate to get today...The little wren family actually waited while I ran upstairs to grab the camera!!...We had a cute little pair of wrens frequent the cat food during the winter and spring and look what has happened...babies!! Now every morning (like clockwork) this little family descends upon the cat food on the deck...My cat food plate is a magnet for every kind of creature...if you have noticed!! You can see them flying from the woods and everybody makes a beeline for their breakfast...These little birds pack a powerful fussy voice and sometimes it gets a little loud out there...but they are such little busybodies and I always like to watch them visit...

***

At Lowes I found this new Rocky Mountain coneflower...It's not a "mutt" like my other ones(mentioned in earlier post) ~ so I hope it makes it...I liked it's name plus it's a coneflower...that's enough to make me buy it!!!

Take Care,

Tina

Love the bird picture, yes my cat food feeds the birds also. Love the cone flower, never have seen that one, I am like you can't never have enough of them, don't see them like you use to. Vicky

Hi...found your blog through Olde Country Cupboard. We love house wrens too..your photo is so sweet...they want to build nests in our garage..the last one built a nest in the cat litter bag. She built this nice nest and laid one egg - one day she was here and then she never came back...so sad
I also love going to Lowes..to the plant rescue department...that's where I get most my flowers.
I have not seen our house wrens eating bird food..we have sunflower seeds, bird seed, cracked corn and bluebird nuggets out for the birds but I don't see them eating any of this...maybe I should put out cat food.

Have a great day,
Smiles,
Maxie
