Indoor Doings and Outdoor Observations

I worked, and worked, and worked most of the day yesterday decorating for Christmas. 

The problem is...I'm a Collector!

I collect salt and pepper shakers...

 and Christmas tins...

and I like kitchen-themed ornaments.
So I have alot of stuff to set out each year.

While I was puttering away yesterday morning, I heard the high "pik" of a Hairy Woodpecker.

The Jays and the Woodpeckers love to munch on the suet I put out this time of year. 

In the bird hierarchy - woodpeckers rule!  

I continue to hope that someday a Pileated Woodpecker will stop by!
