I have gotten a number of inquiries from my fans as to whether
we celebrate Thanksgiving at the Woodpile or not. For many of our bird brethren
across the country, it is a national day of mourning for their fellow turkeys.
Rather than dwell on the negative, we have taken positive action here at the Woodpile.
… Hold on, my cousin Vinnie the P. is telling me it is “top secret” and I can’t talk
about it til after Thanksgiving. Tune in next week for more details.
Yes, we have a celebration to be thankful for the bountiful
harvest Nature has provided [and certain nice humans have supplied us – Thanks
Mom]. At last count, I believe the Woodpile has stored or consumed about 300
pounds of sunflower seeds, 250 pounds of cracked corn, and hundreds of acorns.
We’ll be munching on those all winter. So, for Thanksgiving we like to serve a
special vegetarian meal. Everyone’s favorites are squash seeds and corn on the
cob! The best part, there is no cooking or cleanup. I bet you’re jealous right
about now.
The Woodpile wishes you and your family a joyous
Thanksgiving celebration. Don’t forget to leave a plate of goodies for your
neighborhood furry critters and feathered friends.
As you’ve already heard about in a previous blog post, Mrs.
Spot LOOOOOVES corn on the cob.
Mrs. Spot, “Nothing more satisfying then full cheeks.”
“Chippy, that is not funny, please turn off the spot
light.”
“Oh boy, I found another uneaten corn on the cob.”
“Here comes my relatives, time to hide the corn.”
“I find eating it row by row is the most efficient
method.”
“Good to the last kernel”
“All this food has given me a mighty thirst.”
Bushy has excellent table manners
Unfortunately his younger brother is a total party
animal (what a disgrace)
The squash is really popular this year. I thought I
would sneak
from under the table slats to avoid the competition.
Which half do a I choose?
This is really good
You know, Bushy’s brother has the right idea –
who cares
about table manners, time to stuff my face!
