~~~First Photos of 2013~~~


First photos Jan. 1 2013....I have been trying to get caught up on things here, straighting out the photos files, reclaiming my living space from Christmas decoration,,and etc. before I when back to posting, but as we all know probably we would never get a post done in that case so, here I am a hour before having to be at the dentist, then to pick up my eye glasses that have been redone for the 5th time since my cataract surgery  last April , .we won't go there ..a real gripe session in itself!! Let's just hope they are right this time grr!!

Here are the photos I took to begin the new year , and what better way then to see my favorite little Bluebirds !!
Here they are at Gracie's Mealy-worm Restaurant !!
It is shortly after sun up and the the place is full with even a waiting line! : )

Full to capacity!

The one on the right side is looking a little greedy !!

 Sure enough he was and "shouting match ensues" !!


The crowd starts to thin out , taking a few last bites with them !!


Then the bully arrives and puts and end to it all....he doesn't  like the worms
he just wants to be a European Grackle bully!!

The end of the first day of the New Year....

    A great first post and photos for a new year, Grace. Hope the glasses work out this time and that the dentist visit was not painful, even to the wallet.

    Oh, yes, a lovely bluebird pie! They look like they squabble like my redpolls. They really do not like to share.

    Hey, What are you doing with those Bluebirds, baking them in a pie dish like that? Shame on you Grammie G. I was looking at our forecast for next week and I need to borrow that large snow clearing shovel of yours Grace. The prediction is 7inches of snow - get real I told them Grammie g reguarly gets 7ft of snow and never ever complains, only when she gets a headache, but thats not heaps of snow falling from the porch but something quite different. Our secret GG. I just remembered, won't need the shovel after all thanks for where I'm going. Log on to ABB soon to find out.

    About time you got a post up....and I thought I was slow :-) LOL We just took our Christmas tree down over the weekend. The house looks so dark now...I miss the lights and color. I love Gracie's Mealy-worm Restaurant! If I thought it would bring me a dish full of bluebirds, I would go out and buy some mealy worms. I had a friend who was raising her own worms for awhile. I'm not that dedicated. Interesting process, but...yuck! Bluebirds are really adorable. I must try harder to put up a home for some. I imagine that they are thrilled to death to find meal worms at this time of year at some kind lady's restaurant.

    I love that sweet dish of Bluebirds you served up Grace, absolutely delightful!

    I hope they finally managed to get your glasses sorted out and the teeth....any more spare parts needing replacing? ;-)

    I wish you a very Happy and Healthy New Year!
