Bird's Nest Spruce---How Big?
Q
Comments (1)
I've seen them 5' tall and 8' or more across but then we tend grow things big out here :-)) And it takes a very long time to achieve that size. Plant tag info is often incorrect and with trees and shrubs, typically reflects a 10 year size. Sources indicate mature size to be 5' tall and 10-12' wide.

Yes, if people are interested and can't attend, I'll try to figure a way to get the information out. I understand that the color RED is the key...and the flowers show more red than the feeder. Guess I'll know more after the talk!

Tiny bird feeding great big bird at feeder

I almost posted an observation along these lines several weeks ago. In a one-week span I noticed three separate cowbird chicks all being attended to by blue-grey gnatcatchers. There was always a single cb chick to each set of birds, and never any sign of additional BGGC chicks vying for the food. In that same time span I also noticed a CBchick being fed by a pair of indigo buntings. It's not hard to find them as they are very raucous and conspicuous. I am curious how the numbers and densities of birds most typically affected by CB predations are doing here because we have hordes of cowbirds, yet I always hear/see vireos and thrushes and others that are prime targets for parasitism. I check my nest boxes regularly and destroy any CB eggs in the hopes that at least my small wooded acreage can better sustain songbirds in a time of decline, but we live in farmland with any remaining wooded areas being highly fragmented. Flocks of winter 'blackbirds' are usually groupings of redwings, starlings, grackles and cowbirds fattened up on a steady and readily available farmland diet. I only wonder what our songbird demographics will do in the next few decades.

How big are your bathroom towel bars and how did you dress them?
Q

The towels look good hanging on the hooks, but it might help to see the actual hooks you're using. Teacats, I love the pictures in your bathroom. This mornings Gordman's ad shows the pictures of the ladies in dresses. The bathroom we're redoing is the main bath for the house and it seems to be on the formal side. I never know how rooms are going to end up they just seem to evolve during the remodeling process. It's really fun to see all these beautiful bathrooms, though. I love seeing all the different design styles!

we are going to Son's house this year, but I'll always remember.....The Year Of The Bird!! Sometime in the 80's. Hubs and two sons all worked at the same company. We were going to have the whole family to our place for Thanksgiving, so when I told them I bought a big 22 pounder, they gave me a funny look and said, we each get a bird from work! Luckily we had a big freezer, then at the company Christmas party, the two sons each won a turkey. We ended up giving three of them away to some families. And I'm not even fond of turkey. LOL

Since I roast a fresh bird, I won't get mine until the day before Thanksgiving.
I ordered a 22-24 lb. Tom.

It's small this year--17 pounds. There are only 5 of us so that's more than enough. Harry ususally picks up a 23-25 lb. one and we eat turkey til July! And that's after my daughter takes home leftovers. He paid 69 cents a pound.

Haven't got it yet..but it'll be the smallest I can find! There will only be 4 of us here, and I'll also cook a ham! We eat more ham than turkey..so the turkey is more for tradition..and turkey sandwiches! lol
