Rabbits

I'm not a big fan of rabbits either. I know that that they are cute and all, but they do a number to my flowerbeds. I just have too many. They love to eat my beautiful flowers, just when they start to look nice.

...but Easter is coming and I just finished a wool table runner. I just love this designer and I have done a few of her beautiful designs. This design is from Brandywine Designs. It is from the book "Bless the Beasts and the Children" and the pattern is called Rabbit Chase Penny Runner. You can check out more of her patterns here.

Gray Squirrel

This little guy was hiding in my back yard yesterday. I have a love/hate relationship with them. I love to watch hang in the trees and jump from branch to branch. But, I was not very happy with them last fall when they dug up my flower bulbs.



Fun fact about gray squirrels. They can hide 25 nuts in a half an hour and later find roughly 80 percent of those it buried. Hunters will sometimes trick a gray squirrel into showing itself by clicking two quarters together, which makes a squirrel-like sound. Please check other fact on gray squirrels from the Minnesota DNR here.

Today is also Outdoor Wednesday. Thanks to our host Susan at a Southern Daydreamer. Please check out the others here.

What do Minnesota girls do in a blizzard? They have a Hawaiian luau party.

Cardinals

These are the first photos of the pair of cardinals that have come to my feeder. I hope to see more of them. I think this is my new favorite bird. I love the color. One thing I have read about cardinals is the average life span is 15 years. WOW! To learn more about cardinals click here.

Heated Birdbath

I had some great advice from a fellow blogger regarding how to keep my heated birdbath from freezing over. Please check out his blog here. I put my birdbath at an angle and that has worked so far for me, but our temperatures have been warmer. I received this birdbath from my husband for Christmas and it has been so much fun to watch the birds.
