My Favorite Backyard Friends! | Grandma’s Stories

Apr 21st My Favorite Backyard Friends!

Nothing like having all of your “favorite” friends just “fly” in and visit – – – a-while – – as there is the “KING” of the “Cardinals” – who just likes to come very early and sit on the porch rail … and sit and sit – must be the “police-man – checking to see if all is “OKAY” for his family … to come and get first pickens of the bird-seed – – – some birds are from the “high – rent district” and they prefer the best and freshest of seeds… – and – – Always glad to see the “Sunshine” – – – looks like he likes to give “me” a big friendly “wink” – and … of course that sets the day for ME!

I was looking for a or any “humming bird” – but I don’t see the very busy favorite of all of our family??? Looks like we will have to get some of their favorite red bottles filled and put just where they will be looking for them – or sometime get some of the red flowers that they wold prefer – we plant for them to visit…I do see the “Sunset Park” cat – looking and lurking around to see if any …old “blue-jay” is letting the rest of the birds know that he is also looking for something “good” to eat?

I did have to add a “Cardinal” to the above “yard” …as we have a tree with several families living – just to visit us daily …and all rent free – there is also a “purple martin” house – in our backyard and who knows “who” lives there??? – – Someday I would like to clean that house out and redo everything – – just to be sure everyone is okay – – give it a more friendly paint-job – -and maybe – – if done at the right time of the year – the “Purple Martins” will move in and not some of the other “first-come – first move in” birds – – “WHO” – make the best of what they can get – free??

With the “SUN” shinning so nice and bright – – right – NOW – I know that all is well with all of the animals – – those who the Almighty sends here for us to enjoy – just watching – them come for a visit with a “tweet or two and chirp- chirp” and enjoy a free bite to eat and where – – they can also – feel nice and safe – – since they have so much fun “talking” to each other – and even the “one” that talks back to me, – “That is the “ONE” – I really like the most-est!! “My favorite and forever:” – – “FRIEND!”
