Rainy Sundays....and birdwatchin....

The past two, possibly three Sundays, have been rainy and cool. Doesn't bother me at all. Yesterday, I came downstairs to feed my cat. I looked outside to see if one of those whacky squirrels was up on the one feeder dish. But it wasn't... instead there was a beautiful red-breasted grosbeak. What a treat to see! I kept watching throughout the day, enjoying the antics of all the birds flitting around the feeders and he finally came back again later in the afternoon. He didn't get to stay long either time he stopped by, because that blasted squirrel kept jumping up in the dish and knocking him off! Arghhh! Oh well, squirrels gotta eat too - right? Right.... But if they keep eating as much as they do, I'm gonna make them get a job! I was throwing water at the squirrels to get them to stay off the one feeder. However, they didn't seem to care at all about that. I actually think they were sticking their tongues out at me - and my cat was inside laughing - ha!
