Drinking is for the birds

This weeks Theme is Drink

Anyone that’s been reading this site for a while knows that I enjoy having birds in our backyard garden.

We have three feeders in our tiny yard. We have to fill them up almost daily since there are so many birds eating from the feeders. I think we must be the only people around for blocks that feed the birds the way they go through the seed we put out for them.

In the five years that we’ve been at the house I’ve only seen a humming bird twice. We have two hummingbird feeders, that I clean and fill regularly in the hopes of enticing the tiny creatures to have a drink.

Here’s a photo of our nicest hummingbird feeder:

And here’s another view of the same feeder:

Have a great weekend and Happy St. Patrick’s day. Don’t drink too much now.






Corte madera seems like a nice community to move in to

by

Every once in a while I think about how nice it would be to move to a warmer climate. Once where I could garden year round if I wanted. It’s not likely to happen, not any time soon anyway, but I can still dream about it can’t I?

If you’ve ever thought of moving to California you might be interested in Corte Madera Homes. They are within commuting distance of San Francisco. The homes are reasonably priced for the area, and best of all Corte Madera seems to be a nice small town. I wouldn’t mind living in a small town if it was within an easy commute to a larger city, jobs and other attractions – which of course describes Corte Madera perfectly.

The town of Larkspur is the closest community to Corte Madera. It appears to be a nice town with a lot of great attractions.

The Ravasio Real Estate site lists schools in the Corte Madera area, as well as community resources. If you’d like sound of Corte Madera and Larkspur take a look at the MLS listings for Marin County.

If I was able to, and if I was planning to move to a warmer area I think I’d certainly take a look at the Marin County area now that I know a little bit more about it. It seems to be a very nice area.

Auto Stir coffee Mug

If you’re like me in the morning you might get up all bleary eyed, too tired to even see straight. All you want is that first morning coffee. Then you’ll open your eyes and see what’s going on around you.

Well, for people like me, there’s a new, very cool invention. It’s an auto stir coffee mug. Just pour your coffee, milk and add sugar if you use it and within seconds the mug will stir the contents on it’s own. It’s really cool.

Of course, if you’re barely functioning even pouring the coffee could be a challenge, but at least you won’t have to stir it!
