Happy Mother's Day!

I hope all of the mom's who read my blog have a fabulous mother's day.  My mom called me earlier this week asking if this weekend would be good for her and dad to come for a visit.  Well not really, but I told her yes. I won't be going to the track with my husband and son for my son's birthday, I'm ok with that I haven't seen my parents since I drove up there 2 months ago (it is almost 3 hours one way to their house).

I was out shopping earlier this week and I have to admit, I bought my own Mother's day gift.  None of you know my husband so I have to say he didn't screw it up this year :-)  I got what I wanted and I didn't have to spell it out for him or rely on the kids to get it right.  For a while I have been wanting a bird feeder (I feel that makes me old, but oh well) so I purchased one and a hook and some bird seed.  I have had several little visitors and I enjoy watching their antics at and around the feeder.    

Here are a few pictures of my little visitors.

Red Headed Finch

Cardinal and there is a Finch keeping its eye on him.

I believe this a woodpecker of some sort.  he had a very long thin beak.

Another Red headed Finch, he likes the sunflower seeds

I think he is trying to decide which one is the grand prize.

Happy Mother's day to all the mom's out there.  Dad's, I'll get you next month.
