Post Your Simple Pleasures - Those little things that almost make your life worth living

Ideally you want something that has a cone facing down about halfway up. Metal so they can't dig in and your good. We have a lot of birds that go for the suet we put out. You might get a feeder that has a cage for it, but we continued to use our old one since it has a solid back so that they can get it from the front but other birds can only do the sides. If you want to feed woodpeckers you can get a feeder made of chicken-wire and put full peanuts in the shells; woodpeckers can get through the shells but not other birds so you can feed only them if that's your thing. If you put out hummingbird feeders keeping them away from the other feeders helps (and you can feed bees too!) If you can afford it have a bigger feeder for sunflower seeds, and a smaller one with mixed seeds. (Our backyard runs 2 scoops of sunflower seeds to 1 of the mixed feed a day, especially this time of the year.)

Drinking a warm can of liquid denim!
Also, when the room is cold but your blanket keeps you somewhat warm

I use squirrel baffles on my pole feeders while also accepting that they are going to sometimes make it past anyway and hope they go for the cheaper seed.

Came here to post that after weeks of putting a specific type of food out (that said squirrels occasionally fucked with), I finally got the intended bird in my yard today! Feels fantastic. Love seeing new backyard birds, especially given I am in fairly dense urban living for now.

Also, seeing the resident woodpecker pair bring their fledgling by to the suet cake/peanut feeder. Birdwatching is such a joy.

I would say it's probably standing outside my house watching a tornado rolling by, it's not very often you see them but when you do it's pretty awe inspiring.

Me and my sister helped a sick pigeon get better. Now I go to his hangout spot every day and give him some seeds. I enjoy watching the little nigga live his life like a pigeon should, because when he was sick it seemed like he would never fly again.

Waking up on my own and not by my alarm or child.

 

[Day Walker]

The combination of the smell of cigarette smoke and warm sun on my skin. Even more so since I stopped smoking.

Holidays.

That is a blessing, enjoy it before your kids are too old to wake you up.

Waking up on my own and not by my alarm or child.

No kids here. When I visit family, I am reminded just how much I love my quiet home where I am free to do whatever without worrying about someone else, keeping things tidy the way I like without someone else messing it up, hearing other people make noise esp snoring and coughing all night, kids screaming, not having to plan around the family (not that I am disgusted by it- just that ensuring everyone is fed and clean and the house is picked up just gets old really fast.) I feel kinda lonely sometimes when I get the urge to go out and just do something with someone, but I think I am autist enough that having a house full of kids and other people would break me. Nothing better than being mentally drained by child-relatives and then coming home to utter silence and just telling my house I love it. Lol.

I love this time of the year, leaving my house in the afternoon, everything grey outside. Lifts my spirits every single time, the most simple of all pleasures. Not to mention the cold weather works as a shitskin repellant so the streets are noticeably more empty come autumn.

 

[The Last Stand]

Seeing pictures/clips of my favorite actresses from their day. Sometimes, I wonder how they would live in today's world.

The first cold front of the year. You walk outside and it's 20 degrees cooler then it was yesterday, and all the wildlife is quiet trying to figure out what's going on.

They're plotting to eat your ass.

Thread tax: cleaning your place, and just enjoying the fruits of your labor for solace that you've done something productive.

the way people look at my dog when we go out

That's nice to hear, i often can't tell when i look at peoples dogs outside if they are offended by it. I just like looking at cute dogs

I have a soaker tub, and I like filling it with water almost so hot that I can't stand it, and just soaking in it for a few hours.
