Other Entertainment

The passenger seat of our motor home has a desk that pulls out and that's where I have my computer and where I create these fascinating blog posts.

It's a nice location because it's out of the way so my mess isn't interfering with the clutter I have spread out in other places, there are five cup holders and if I open the curtain I have a panoramic view.

Chris very kindly bought me a bird feeder from Amazon. (Delivered in the 1B2 box discussed last time).






It's perfect for us because it folds flat.



No/No Original Hourglass Bird Feeder  HG00310
It's perfect for us because it folds flat. Plus, if we ever go fishing we can keep the fish we catch in it. Plus, the birds can perch all around it in the metal cage.

In Ohio I had a giant bird feeder that my dad made for me. The birds would pig out and you could practically watch the bird seed level go down.

Here they are a bit more polite and so far we've only filled it once, but it's getting low.

It's surprising how much I enjoy watching the birds out the window. I even looked up a bird I'd never seen before...it was a bluebird. Made me feel a little stupid, like I should know what that is, but in Ohio I think we just had blue jays, which are large and rather bossy. The bluebird is bright and cheery.

There's also a stray cat that occasionally takes up residence below the feeder, like it's a vending machine or something. I open my window and yell at him like a crazy old lady. It seems to work.

Here's the view from my window. It's a rather dark day and the bird and dirt all seem to be the same color, but if you look closely there are some birds on the feeder and a couple pigeons on the ground.

  1. I love watching the birds. But they can go through birdseed fast! Robin

    1. Agreed! I like to feed sunflower seeds and they are a bit more expensive than the seed that has a lot of filler in it (though I suppose the sunflower seed shells are filler too). But once birds started coming to the feeder I remembered how much I enjoy watching them.
