Just a few years ago my morning ritual was feeding some 14 horses. There were many times I told God how grateful I was for that time in my life. We had a beautiful facility and the horses were so wonderful to be around. We had several BLM (mustangs) horses and a mixture of others. I'll share more of that another time.
Today, my morning chores were to fill the bird feeders, feed the fish and fill the water bucket for our yard deer who come in often. We have a dry doe who comes in even as I'm putting the jelly in jelly dishes for the orioles. If you haven't tried this yet, think about it.
Be prepared, if you have birds who enjoy the jelly look for some good sales on grape jelly. We are going thru almost a quart a day. The finches and orioles love it. The male orioles have already left for Mexico or wherever they go for the winter. The females and young are feeding heavy preparing for the trip to come.
This is my "remodeled" birdfeeder. The plastic sides were broken, so I removed them, drilled a hole in bottom where a votive candle cup slips right in, easy to remove for cleaning and easy to see from my window when it's empty.
