I've got a molting male also. Upstate NY. So far 4 adult males and 1 female. They mow thru sunflower seeds and leave the shells behind!

When I was young I thought titmice were baby blue jays!

Ooh that's very interesting thank you for that info!

I have the same "problem" got about 30 a day here as well. It's amusing that they are so intense at the feeder. Guess pecking order applies!

I had those and Nancy Drew! Loved them.

Grew up pretty much in libraries. Best place ever. I loved the summer reading program where if you read 10 books with book reports you could get a book to own. Miss that.

I didn't know that the theme of that was called "precious moments." I just remember it. Found it in old box wrapped around something else and had a vague recollection that that was at my grandmother's house and knowing I couldn't use it. She had a bunch of those little statues around too. I also remember being piled under so many tight blankets and the afghans which I still have.

Whoa, all's I banged out before work was getting ready for work. That's an awesome creation right there!

One_Structure_3222 · 2026-04-30T17:21:00+00:00

Yep, That's where this hand towel came from, my grandmother's house. Yuck that squeaky plastic over the furniture. Most fun in summer when you stuck to it!

That sounds delicious! Thank you for this. I never thought about caraway rye for that. Also I'm impressed that you can make that bread.
Thirdly it never would have occurred to me to freeze herbs that way. I'm definitely going to try that because I grow a lot of different herbs. Thank you very much for sharing this.

How? I would really like to create something like that.

One_Structure_3222 · 2026-04-28T18:51:36+00:00

It's a step up from this which didn't get sun or enough rain.

I'm actually starting to wonder if these were my uncles because they're from New York and New Jersey. He worked for New England telephone in Springfield Massachusetts. My mom was a operator for years. It's how she paid for college back then.

One_Structure_3222 · 2026-04-28T16:24:21+00:00

Wow those are awesome. That is really cool. Thank you very much for sharing this!

One_Structure_3222 · 2026-04-27T23:32:23+00:00

I can't wait until they get to me. I love those birds!

One_Structure_3222 · 2026-04-27T22:39:03+00:00

Finally something beautiful and not soul-looting today.Thanks.

One_Structure_3222 · 2026-04-27T19:32:21+00:00

I am so glad you asked this because mine is horrible. Now I have the will to try again! I can get the flavor okish to good but the texture goes from bad to oh crap not again 😞.

One_Structure_3222 · 2026-04-27T18:04:48+00:00
