Some of them have even figured out how to drop them on rocks from a height. I'm sure the ones around your place are grateful for whatever you can share.<br /><br />lydia - It still seems strange to me to be here and I must admit that park is our favorite place. I do miss Powell's and my friends in Portland - too bad we met so late. I'm very glad you enjoyed the drawing and the story.<br /><br />gfid - Ah, so that's what you've been up to along with everything else. Yes, our weather so far has been fairly mild and I agree I'd enjoy winter more in the circumstances you describe. It was only today I learned that crows dig holes to store their food - interesting to know they play for hard times and needy family members.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-10570279830055280812011-12-11T13:51:03.036-08:002011-12-11T13:51:03.036-08:00Each evening as i visit my dad and sit with him fo...Each evening as i visit my dad and sit with him for a time watching his favorite tv show... the weather channel.... i watch for the weather in Halifax, and i think of you. been mild here too.... if winter could stay like this and be about half as long, i might even grow to like it.

Can't tell you how much I loved this post, Susan. I loved that you drew the scene for us....those nuts in his mouth, the tiny squirrel waiting--knowing that you have extra just for him, ready to be your friend. <br /><br />Thank you for this heartwarming glimpse into your Good Life.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-11769596060202926942011-12-10T15:23:44.949-08:002011-12-10T15:23:44.949-08:00I used to cut up cheap hot dogs for my crow buddie...I used to cut up cheap hot dogs for my crow buddies and it was funny to watch them rearrange the pieces so they would fit in their beaks.

Your grumpiness doesn't fool him, your pets, or me either. What's a few handouts among friends?<br /><br />linda - Our backyard is a parking lot and loading zone and the only birds around are pigeons. I'm never going to encourage pigeons.<br /><br />It's cool that you get to see the crows eating walnuts. That must be very funny too. The only way to show this was by drawing it as I don't think there's such a thing as a crow blind for photographers. Glad you like it.<br />xoxo<br /><br />liberality - I never knew crows liked peanuts either til now. My original idea was to take the nuts for the squirrels who are extremely tiny and cute.<br /><br />Many, many congratulations on finishing school.
