Our kitties like to be right in the thick of things too :) <BR/>I'll have to try feeding our jays peanuts. We did it a little last year, but as you say, they gobble them up so fast, and are greedy creatures.<BR/>Thanks for the Christmas wishes, Robin.

My Dec GBBD post was titled: Garden Bloggers Blooming-Bird Day, for that VERY reason. My birds keep me company all winter and I get so many varieties.

Theodore was a great cat. At the time, I also had an Australian Shepherd named Indigo. The two would walk along the driveway up to the barn together. Indigo would stop and wait for Theo to catch up, then they'd walk more. Indigo would wait... and on they went. They both passed away at very old ages, but spent their lives togetherF Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558874651743241988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463455126326179974.post-23493263155669958752008-12-27T01:00:00.000-05:002008-12-27T01:00:00.000-05:00Love all the beautiful BlueJay shots.

One of my cats likes to come sit between the keyboard and the monitor and the other demands to be in my lap. Beautiful bluejays. I tried to hang suet once. Big mistake. It is just much too warm here in Florida and it was rancid in no time.
