It's snowing! It's blowing! The temperature is six degrees fahrenheit and thet's before you factor in the wind chill. The little sparrow pecking at the almost empty bird feeder looked hungry, so I trekked out with a fresh supply of food. Took a quick blip and hurried back into the warm house.

What the birds and squirrels don't eat during the day, the deer will polish off over night. The other night they held a party in our backyard with our bird seed for the refreshments. I'm learning to put out just a sufficient amount for the birds in the morning. If there are any leftovers at the end of the day, the deer get that.
