Can you post a pic. of an orchard oriole? Not sure I know the difference.
(((Wren))) Boy, send me some of your rain..I have grass seed planted!

Going in to work here in a bit... its pouring rain here too Wren so half the neighborhood kids need me to pick them up LOL... I dont mind..... but we need to leave now and sis is still putting on her face I told her not to bother with straightening her hair... i also have to call the dentist... i just busted a tooth on some caramel rice cakes... yesterday was the anniv of my dads death so i'll probally end up at moms again today at some point. I need to get to the hosptial and go see the girl at work who overdosed. sigh.... to many things to do and not enough hours in the day to do them...
{{{HUGS}}}}

I tried and tried to get a good (good?) photo of the orioles but that's SO difficult. It means holding the camera in my right hand and the blinds in my left - I'm not good with either - and taking the photo through the screen.
Here's two copies from a bird book.

Ohhhhhhhh...I have the Northern Orioles and maybe the Baltimore...I thought the yellowish ones were the females! Thank you Wren...love the black and orange color! Hugs

Ok...I took Mr.Alffe out to lunch at KFC and we had the buffet so stayed on our diets. I also drove all the way up to Three Oaks for flat bread and they were closed! Can't seem to get their new schedule in my brain and about the time I do...they have regular summer hrs...those little lake villages do their lake thing!

I wonder (wrong thread) if Ms.Doody remembers when she followed me up there on her way home and it was closed then too! Honestly, they are open sometimes and have wonderful stuff.

On a really happy note...it is pouring down rain!!! Maybe my grass seed w/sprout! Itch itch itch.....

I also wonder why Hillary won't just get out...she fought hard and it's time to stop.

What's on your plate?

well, I must have shone her my wrong dimples again cause she really shot us down again today.

The lady(our client) was really beside herself today and just said that she might just end up leaving the place to her kids when she dies...

sheesh!!

wren, how to you make a grape jelly holder? We'd love to attract some Orchard Orioles instead of Chocolate Vanilla Oriole cookies.

Did the fat lady sing my friend or do you have another date set to meet w/them? Sounds like she has a closed mind, for whatever reason.

Mr.Alffe made me a feeding station (well, not me but made the birds one ) out of an unside down tray which he screwed onto a pole...and I just fill little chrome dishes with jelly.

Tell us what you do Wren.

For jelly feeders ........ I cut a piece of scrap board (good plywood stands up to weather best) larger than the Rubbermaid brand dish I'm sacrificing to the birds. I pencil in the size of the bottom of the dish ..... cut that out with my scroll saw. Then the dish fits in just right, won't blow away but I can get it out to clean.
Also, beside the dish, a little hole is drilled to hold a bit of dowel so yet another orange is offered.
I use those little eye hooks (right word?) in each corner to attach chains for hanging to the the bottom of the deck or the bird feeders.

I can try (yeah, sure youbetcha') again to take some photos tomorrow after the rain stops. They aren't pretty or smooth to our eyes but the birds are crazy about them.

I just love this little guy!

It's magic I tell ya! Thank you! Now I really am off to bed!

Why it isn't magic at all! *grin Next time I'll know how! Thanks my friend!
