on Saturday I went out to top up the hot tub…
the weather app was suggesting it was -21 out, but the sun was shining and there wasn’t any wind in the garden…
was able to slide the one side open without taking it right off… worked fine…
while the water was running, I brought in the recycling bin from the lane…
and I found a suet feeder in the garage and put a frozen block of homemade suet out in the front yard…
nice to be outdoors for a little while… Spring is coming…

sat in the sun in the living room and watched the birds at the feeders…
finally found one that likes the homemade suet;-)… yay for the downy woodpecker…
nice to see the house finches again…
I’ve only ever seen them in the garden…

had some fun in the kitchen a few days ago after I took out the garbage from the den closet cleanup…
last week I found a recipe for homemade suet and added a few of the items to my grocery order so that I could make some for the birds…
it seems like a simple recipe with just 5 ingredients…
while making this, tomato sauce for my supper was simmering on the stove…
I made a double recipe so hope the birds like it, lol…
I used a sushi container and another container I found… after melting and mixing everything together, they went into the freezer to solidify…
I’ve put some out front in the suet holder and also put a bit in one of the saucers in the garden… so far it doesn’t seem to have the birds swarming to it;-(…
my problem now is that I am nearly out of sunflower seeds and won’t likely be getting any for at least a few weeks…
