Done...we cooked it.

 I probably should use finished instead of done but it feels like the puzzle has been cooked big time.  It's finished but only because of persistent Russells.  Yesterday I thought I was losing my mind.  Nothing was working and this morning a bit of organization with black pieces and the Christmas gift puzzle is finished. 

 It's staying together for a few days and then neighbor Judy wants to tackle it.  The black is a world map and if you know where the Azores or Ackland is that's; helpful to find the location of that puzzle piece.  I must admit that Siri helped with a few places.  Knowing geography is a huge help.  

The Starlings have been messing with me and I've been messing with them.  Another attempt to mess with them. It's my turn. This is a view from the kitchen through the window.   

This is a view from the patio.  No birds yet but I'll be watching for B Bs and Starlings.  

 We'll see how this modification goes.  I've heard Starlings have a difficult time flying up to a feeder.  So...We'll see how good they are.  The cover could be a bit lower.  But happy to give this a try.  The chicken wire is gone because that didn't help a bit.  I love making something work that doesn't cost much.  There is no guarantee that comes with this feeder though!  

Noah is here again today.  He is great company and a pancake lover.  He sure can pack away a plate full ofcourse loaded with syrup.
