Pileated Woodpecker

This is special for Susan at BNOTP........my woodpecker is here almost every evening, working away on this old tree stump!!!

This is my little garden with tree stump in the center to the right of the bird bath.....

He arrives at about 20 min. to 6..........

He has tired of that spot and mover to another.  Every now and then he goes to the top of the stump and flaps his wings at the pottery bird there......

A large chunk falls off......

Very busy.......

Robins in the bird bath and not bothered by him......

All done for today.......he flew away about 6:15.    The quality of the pics are not the best, taken through my glass door, afraid to make noise and he would fly away!!!

Interesting the amount of damage in a short space of time!!!  But so fun to watch!!!  So, Susan, this is what happened to your bird house..........

Phase II

The new shelf units arrived and I assembled them, bulkier that I expected but will nicely do the job!!  After all, this is now a storage room......

Just wanted to get everything off the floor and out of my studio/sewing room, will organize later....

Got the windows washed and fresh curtains pressed and put up......notice there are NO leaves on the trees yet!!!

Set up a temporary table in the center for sorting and organizing files.

Hopefully my dear nephew will come by next week and take the bed and extra stuff down to the basement.  Now, after doing all this I have a slipped disc in my lower back and have been laid up or down as it may be.......taking drastic drugs for pain.........will continue when I am better!!!   

Thanks for stopping by......hope Spring has erupted by you........it is soooooooooo slow here........
