yesterday morning, I was sitting on the back deck, listening to the waterfall, watching the fish, and reading my book…

all of a sudden a bird flew down to the orange halves I had on the edge of the deck…

it was only there for a second and then flew away… it was in a bit of shadow, but I was pretty sure it was an oriole…

a few minutes later, it came back and I got a few photos… not great, but made me happy…

after it left, I moved the oranges a bit so I could watch better…

and so far, I haven’t spotted it again;-)…

it has been years since I’ve seen any in the garden, although a number of them live along the creek in the next block…

but, I will keep watching and put out a fresh orange in the morning;-)…

I spent the day in the garden… I stayed in the shade but eventually put on my sun shirt and a pair of long pants to be sure I didn’t get too much sun, as I was feeling it, even in the shade…

I’d sent my grandson a list of things I needed from various stores… currently our deal is that he has the use of my car and acts as my personal shopper;-)… he spent a good portion of the morning gathering things I haven’t been able to order online and then brought them to me in the afternoon…

we put away all of the goodies, made some adjustments to the bird feeders – excited to see if the slinky keeps away the squirrels – and had a wonderful visit… nice to have someone to talk with in person (at a safe distance)…

I was very clever and made an oriole feeder;-)… apparently they like oranges…

after supper he put the Inukshuk back together for me, as it had been in pieces, lol… too heavy for me to lift…

am blessed to have such a great kid in my life;-)…
