We seem to have a new resident on our homestead. Mrs. Pileated Woodpecker was back again this morning. This picture is hardly different than one previously posted which shows she definitely has this spot on the big birch staked out as her sunbathing area. All puffed up and soaking in the rays. (Seventeen below this morning . . . br-r-r-r-r.)
Wow! I've never seen one that close up! What a great picture! On a side note, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas...sure looks like you have the snow for it!
I live with my husband on a small homestead in Northern Minnesota. Our daughter currently lives in a small cabin in the woods not too far from us.
Our place is located outside a small town and a two and a half hour's drive from the nearest big city. Trips to the city are infrequent, well-planned, and exhausting!
We currently raise chickens and have hives of honey bees. Raising some of our meat and most of our fruits and vegetables is a priority for us; so, along with our birds for meat and eggs, we have fruit trees, berry patches and a huge vegetable garden.
Quilting is my passion, and I could happily spend each day in my quilt studio if I weren't happily spending each day out in the garden. Good thing we have winters up here; Mother Nature helps keep my life balanced.
