Wow - that's a long walk too, Joyce. I remember '77 well. My dad and I ran up to the roof when our lights went out. We got there just in time to see all the city lights go out - really weird!
Coffee Break #22 - NY Rules!!!!
Victor you can go to the Christmas Tree shop and get suet for 89 cents .. some were a dollar...but that's the cheapest we found
We have a wild bird store here too, pricey as well, but they have a lot of specialty stuff like you said Dahlianut, they also do the same thing here with the newsletters. Hard to find those insect suets here unless I get them online...
- Don't remember the 77 blackout too well, did'nt affect me that much. (lol)
Prayers for my mom please, she was rushed to the hospital tonight with acute renal failure.
Sending prayers your way Jen--I hope by the time you read this she is doing better.....
best thoughts & prayers to your Mom Jen
Sorry to hear that Jen, best wishes.
Oh - thoughts and prayers your way, Jen. Good luck.
I'll have to look into the Christmas Tree store.
My sincerest wishes for a speedy recovery Jen.
Hugs and well wishes Jen.
hope the best for your mom jen!
I just get suet at HD with peanut butter in it - they do not last long out there
Praying for your mom, Jen.
I used to make my own suet--easy, and the birds loved it!
Thanks all.
Waiting to hear from my sis today.
phoebe, do you have to cook it?
don't have to.. if it's over 70 raw beef suet will go rancid .. if you render it .. the melting point gets higher and will last longer
I remember my mom used to get trim the fat off the meat she was cooking for dinner and throw it on the front lawn in the winter, the birds would go nuts for it.
oh yeah.. that's good stuff.. even bacon fat!!
Yup--cooked it and then froze it after mixing. Then just go to your freezer to re-supply the birds.
Bears like the smell of bacon & meat too... good thing I don't have bears. (lol)
I came across a fresh bear track while hiking yesterday. A bit unnerving.
They have a full grown one in one of the county parks here that has a zoo/ rehab center for animals. I saw him up close, right up against the glass... the size of a Volkswagen, paws, teeth, claws, more claws, everything size X-large! I hear they can run too! lol!
I always joke when hiking with a group that I will run if I see a bear. Someone will always say that you cannot outrun a bear. I then reply that I don't have to - I just have to outrun the slowest one in the group!
Lol! good one!
Jen, hope your Mom is doing OK---very hard not being able to do something. Victor, you are sooooo bad! I haven't put suet out yet because I'm afraid it will attract the bears. I usually put out the peanut one---the woodpeckers seem to love it.
Squirrels here love the suet I think they ate more than the birds.
Victor, while you're out hiking this time of year, I hope your wearing bright orange
No hunting allowed where I hike, Jen.
Victor! That does not stop the hunters! I used to live where there was no hunting, and yet, every fall, plenty of hunters would hunt on private property! You could even look out the window and see them! And hear the guns...wear bright colors.
Okay, thanks. I'll wear electric pink!
Cool! Goes great with those blonde curls! LOL!
Would have! ^_^
oh dear....
Well, also looks good with the alternatives, all of which fit into the catagory of 'alive and well'!! ^_^
Thoughts and prayers for your mom flowerjen.
Bald and pink has a nice appeal.
I think so too!
Jen--thinking of you & your mom
I will never fully understand why this species is so bent on killing off it's own....It is humanity's fatal flaw.
Such a horrible tragedy. And it's looking more and more like another avoidable one.
Wishing you all the best Jen.
My new reblooming German iris still has its last flower hanging buy a thread. It started reblooming in Oct. Made me very happy!
