I'm on the other side of the state and we're still pretty cool.

Guess it's time to get out the grape jelly. They eat me out of house and home, but I love them.

it was a rose breasted grosbeak. Not only do I have one, but I have at least 2 pair!!!! I hope they will nest here, rather than rest on their migration and fly on. I love them as much as the orioles.

I have the grape jelly ready to dish out.

Enjoy!
