Fluffy
"Fluffy was a joy to all who knew her!"

Here’s what Laurie says about Fluffy:

"Fluffy has now left this earth for the giant hamster wheel in the sky and I miss her terribly. I thought it might help to share her photos with other pet lovers. Fluffy was fun-loving and brought joy to everyone who knew her."

"Fluffy was an exceptionally cute friend. The pictures are awesome. Thanks for sharing your pictorial memorial with us. We will all miss her."

Red Bellied Woodpeckers

This type of platform feeder works well for jelly too. We have a rectangular plastic lid from a food container in the base to hold the jelly, and the birds put their beaks throgh the grate on top to get the jelly. The little one actuallly can do it but he seems to prefer having mom or dad still feed them. We're going through a lot of grape jelly around here; filling every morning!
