Good morning Lisa from sunny Ireland.  Hope all went well with the attic staircase.  It is lovely watching the birds in the garden.  l feed the birds too but l have never seen a cardinal.  We mostly have blue tits, robins, sparrows, black birds, thrushes.  l like hearing them in the garden when l am having coffee.  Hope you have a lovely Sunday.

A warm Saturday, but humidity has been kind. We're getting a attic staircase installed in our garage today..hopefully it will be finished this evening. I say garage, it's not attached to our home, but houses out motorcycles, lawn care stuff, tools, and is a workshop. We built it 2 years ago..it's almost 400 sq feet. And t didn't take long to get it filled up. I'll be replenishing the bird feeders on kitchen window this afternoon. I've enjoyed watching them there. Have seen mostly cardinals and finch. Have a wonderful weekend.
