Lost Day

I thought I was improving on Friday but crashed on Saturday with fever, congestion, aches....the whole shebang.  Feeling less ill this morning, I decided to venture out to the deck before the intense cold settles in for a few days.  There was an incredible amount of activity on the ground, in the trees, and at the feeders as if all the critters were stocking up for the cold.  I haven't seen a lot of Starlings so far this season, but they were there in droves along with all the other usual suspects.   As much as they are a nuisance, I do love their coloring which usually looks black with white spots, but when the light hits just right, lots of other colors are exposed.
