Yes, It Was A Blue Thursday Kind Of Day!
Yes, It Was A Blue Thursday Kind Of Day
All week long, we've been thrilled with the apparent return of the Bluebirds to our backyard! Starting off with what I called a Blue Monday, the 'theme' is still ongoing, so thus it was a Blue Thursday today! And as a bonus, a third Bluebird flew up causing one to fly off. Three of them!?!
__________________________________________
I stocked up on bird food this past Monday due to the combination of the severe cold weather we've had this week (including some of Winter Storm Cora, arriving tomorrow) and the expected increase of activity at the feeders. Can't let our visitors go hungry!
That included the purchase of 5,000 mealworms, which normally lasts about two weeks. I was certain this would get me though the week in spite of the cold weather. However, yesterday, I realized the mealworms were almost gone, due to the extra helpings I've been putting out!
So, today I did a mealworm run to buy more, but the bird store only had one 1,000 count container left! OMG! I have no idea how I'm going to make that and the small portion I still have last until next Monday?!? And unless the store gets a delivery this weekend, they still won't have any on Monday! My hopes of keeping the Bluebirds well fed and happy enough to keep coming back are dashed.
Sorry for oversharing, but this emotional rollercoaster has thrown me for a loop. It's going to be a long month this weekend.
