Birds, lots of them

Past weekend was pretty good. Went to Wykoff on Saturday for some grilling, chasing the kitties and playing in the small firepit. Parents came up here on Sunday. We went to Menards for some stuff. Needed to get a new screen door, rain gutter stuff and lots of bird food. We have lots of birds. I don't know what many of them are. A few chickadees, bluejays, lots of grackles (sp), and other things. They empty a suet block each day. We have two of them and I put up different flavors each time. In our other feeder we put in a mixture of corn and sunflower seeds that they really like. We put up a squirrel guard and I hope that helps. Olivia really likes to help feed them. She reaches into the bag of seed with her greedy little hands and tosses the seeds all over the grass. Then we go inside and they just swarm the place. It's kinda neat.

Zach has been a grump. This morning he was his usual jovial self and that was nice. He ate right up from a bottle I gave and was all happy. He hasn't been liking the bottles though which just makes the days go long with all the whining. But, he was all smiles and babbles today so knock on wood.
