Like Lily aske...Great quote Norma Jean, very true.<br /><br />Like Lily asked, outside receptacles? I was looking at some online the other day, I like to keep fresh water out summer and winter for all the little critters that visit. I have several outside electric receptacles so that's probably the one I will go with. See I worry about the little guys too. Especially when the temps get near zero.<br /><br />The homeless in our area, I was listening to the scanner and the police were finding shelters for several individuals. If they run out of beds apparently there are funds available for a few hotel rooms in the area.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-24814667886404609652009-12-07T16:47:10.144-08:002009-12-07T16:47:10.144-08:00It’s not good to worry DJan but I know what you me...It’s not good to worry DJan but I know what you mean because my husband does the same with our backyard birds. I was reading a good article at the doctor on Time magazine about parents who worry too much about their kids. For example it said that crime has been going down but they worry more about their kids. “Death by injury has dropped more than 50% since 1980…. but among 6-to-8-year-olds, free playtime dropped 25%” mostly because parents don’t let their kids play outside because they worry too much.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-41249537077886897892009-12-07T16:45:44.024-08:002009-12-07T16:45:44.024-08:00I worry about the same things.

I worried about the birds until I realized there were not any birds in the winter! Seriously - no birds. I saw a Great Snowy Owl, and some high-flying geese, but that's it!<br /><br />You have a dear and kind heart - you will figure out the perfect solution. We have our feeder out but we have a fast running stream behind our house, so birds can get a drink all winter. But I haven't seen any birds for a few days - it's all white. I wonder where they go?Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178290697351352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-46284493658076242172009-12-07T13:45:50.207-08:002009-12-07T13:45:50.207-08:00You sound so much like me.

I usually fill a fresh bowl at the same time every morning. The birds have learned the schedule and they wait for it. I also wish there was a way to protect them from the wind and cold. I guess we have to rely on nature's instincts for them to find shelter.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-19012684790888843652009-12-07T13:41:58.964-08:002009-12-07T13:41:58.964-08:00All you can do is all you can do.

Most of the things we worry about never happen, anyway. <br /><br />This coming from a "champion" worrier.

The goats and the horses have a heating element in their troughs, plus Maggie has a heated bucket in her stall. Oh, yeah... can't forget the heated dish in the barn for the cats that get locked inside at night! The wild birds have plenty of choices around here. They just have to wait their turn!Lillian Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488638666900705015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-59364438904605815132009-12-07T07:47:50.135-08:002009-12-07T07:47:50.135-08:00I always worry about the homeless when the weather...I always worry about the homeless when the weather gets bad - what a miserable life. The problem is much bigger than just volunteering to help out - not enough alcohol/drugs rehabilitation centre's to help them manage their addictions so they can get off the streets. It is heartbreaking. But at least we can make sure the wee birdie's get some food ad water. Well done you for being so caring.menopausaloldbag (MOB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04320287770097378027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-66497456552457867302009-12-07T06:59:32.380-08:002009-12-07T06:59:32.380-08:00You don't have to worry about me DJan.

It will need cleaning soon. We also put a large stone in the center so the smallest birds can land on it and still get a drink.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
