It's cold and SNOWY! Yay!
It is SO beautiful outside. I really can't express how much I love snow, no matter the bother it makes of driving and that I can't cycle in it (at least, I don't dare). It is so magical and lovely. It makes almost any scene more beautiful, and when I have these lovely woods to look at to begin with...
But it is still quite cold. I looked up this morning and saw that the cats were intently watching half a dozen mourning doves breakfasting by the window. Then when I opened the blinds, I saw that the birdfeeder was TOTALLY EMPTY!! Horrors! Hard enough being a bird in this weather, but for the lunch counter to be bare of tasty essentials...
I can be too clever, though/ Ot took about 10 minutes and three or four wanders around the apartment scratching my head to remember where I had stashed the extra bird seed (in the bottom of a pile of three milk crates otherwise filled with grocery bags waiting to be recycled). So I filled up the feeder, scattered a lot on the ground for the juncos and the doves and the squirrels, and put the rest in a cannister by the front door. Let it hide in plain sight...
