Leave some for me.. by maggiemae

Leave some for me..

I do like to encourage birds (other than the cheeky starling) so put out this mixture.
I had read that putting a marshmallow into a container of brown sugar stopped it from going hard. The only size of marshmallow packet we could buy was huge. So I used some, added hot water, honey and a crust of bread.
To Be Thankful For:
1. It worked!
2. John’s book is so good, he was totally engrossed….. I put the TV on hold, waited….12 minutes later after I had pretended I was choking, he looked up!
3. Camellias on the coffee table.
Lovely

@happypat At least they didn't expect hot chocolate, Pat - with the marshmallows!
August 5th, 2019  
@maggiemae If it would get them to visit us in the UK I would give them chocolate too!
August 5th, 2019  
@happypat But you have an amazing lot of coloured birds we don't... Blue Jays - or are they just in America! Then there is the robin..!
August 5th, 2019  
@maggiemae Yes we have I suppose, just were used to them & we take more notice of different varieties in other countries when we see them...love the American Humming bird for instance!
August 5th, 2019  
@happypat And... only we on 365 see such amazing pictures of these humming birds!
August 5th, 2019
