~Name The Bird~ :-)

There was a bird out in the yard last nite and I kinda

think it was a woodpecker. I looked thru my book and

that was the closest I could find to this bird..It had a

red spot on the back of his neck and had like a black

half round shape on his chest.
I watched him through the binoculars and his, well,

maybe hers, feathers were like a woodpeckers, black

but kinda outlined in gray.. Beautiful bird. How I happened

to notice is that he was hopping around kinda like a robin

but he was bigger so I got my trusty nocs to see just

what it was.. What ya think it is??
I have a friend, well the one that sent me the birdbook,

Ive sent the pictures on and perhaps it can be identified..

I just like to know.. The two bluejays have been here

quite often.. I havent seen the hummers much though, but

as fast as these leaves are dropping and changing maybe

they migrate? I dunno :-)
I saw one of the boys across the field, well the ones with

the 2 black labs, he was out there in his chair sitting then

when he stood up I saw he had a bow in his hands. He took

a few shots and went in.. But it reminded me that soon will

be hunting season.. Small game, then deer. David was an

avid hunter. He loved it.. I have been looking for a photo I

had of him in his hunting get up but I think I gave it to him.

I made all of his, cuz he HAD to match... :-) He was as bad

as me when it came to matching hunting gear.. I guess there

are deer police that if you don't wear all matching hunting

clothes you maybe get a ticket :-)
My Dad was a hunter too.. He loved small game which he only

hunted Grouse or Partridge as we called it.. Good eatin let me

tell you.. I have a recipe for it that would knock your socks

off its so good.. First time I fixed Partridge for David he

really enjoyed it. Of course I used my moms recipe...Dad, he

hunted deer too.. which I like venison.. mainly the ground

meat or sausage from it though or the back straps.. :-)


I always get to writing about food it seems :-) I guess cuz

by the time I finish writing and posting this I'm always a

tad hungry.. My son made perogies yesterday that were so

good I did the same thing.. All I said was "M M M". I'm

getting spoilt here having a cook :-) But this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE sure is enjoying it :-) Warning time "I shall be

back!" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv ya and thanks! :-)
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you Friend.

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
