Another view of the emerging sap from a piece of the trunk from our blue spruce pine we had to have taken down in our back yard.

sap
We had to have a big blue spruce tree, from our back yard, taken down. I thought keeping the wood would be great for our backyard fire pit (after it dries) but I’m sorta wondering if the pieces of trunk will be with us for many, many years. This photo is, obviously, of some sap running from one of those pieces, illuminated quite nicely in the unseasonably warm January sun.
January Confuses Me
Due to this unseasonably warm winter, we have some bulbs growing in one of our flower beds. I wish I could tell them “No, really, it’s January. Just wait, you’ll see.”
meta-pepper
I opened up an orange bell pepper to find inside, a whole ‘nother pepper growing on all four sides. Silly me I didn’t take a full 360 photo of the center, but still, it was fun.
peck peck
The suet feeder kept falling off its holder because the handle wouldn’t stay secured (mostly because the squirrels kept jumping on it). So I “classied” it up by securing it with a lock-tie. 🙂 The birds, like this small woodpecker, appreciate being able to snack!
