(written Friday at about 4:30 pm)...just looked up and saw this amazing display of light outside my sewing room window. The sunset was reflecting on the top of the trees across the river, making them look as though they were on fire ...
While I was out on the balcony getting that picture I heard chirping from beside me and ended up playing a long game of peek-a-boo with a woodpecker. She kept popping her head around the feeder and chirping at me before ducking back to hide. I managed to capture the moment....
AND.....huge excitement here at Chez Magpie when a pileated woodpecker visited our feeder. I've never seen one up close so it was a thrill.
Our feeder is a tree limb with holes drilled into it that are filled with suet. When it's cold like this the birds will empty it in a day (sometimes less).

Today's quote... Every gift which is given, even though it be small, is in reality great, if it is given with affection.
