Feed the birds, tupence a bag

Carved from a coconut shell, all the way from Cozumel.

Kathleen can remove the fishing pole to
reload the feeder as needed. Should stay dry.

They promised us a gorgeous weekend so we got up full of energy this morning. Our project today was the erection of the handmade coconut shell bird feeder that M'liss brought back from Cozumel. We devised a temporary lash-up arrangement, fishing pole, clamp and wood scraps, but good enough to see if we'll get any hungry takers in for close up viewing.
Kathleen thinks it is too close to the house, Stan says the birds have already been sitting on our railings and the advantage of having it dry and under the eaves out weighs the negative of bird poop close to the house below.

We hope to see birds soon
through our kitchen window.

The temporary set up will allow some adjustments over time, so we are not committed.
Closer? Farther? These are the decisions that keep us awake nights.

Now to tackle final assembly of the new barbecue grill. Bring on the sun!

The clamp blends well with the environment, don't you think? Notice the snow receding in the background.
