After brunch today I went to Shubie Park to play with the chickadees. I got a bonus while I was there, a cardinal was spending some time with the chickadees. 
I stopped to take a photo of some juncos and the chickadees started dive bombing me, expecting seed to appear in my hand. I got out a handful of seeds and the chickadees and a red breasted nuthatch were happy. But then a cardinal landed in a nearby tree and I really wanted to get a photo of him. Put seeds away, take photos of the cardinal, put more seeds in my hand, then put some on a nearby stump, and I was rewarded with the cardinal landing there with a chickadee..
It was a cold day so there was some interesting ice formations along the canal. 
This evening I went for a drive to see some of the Christmas lights.
Unfortunately I cannot post all of the 75+ photos that I took today.
When I came home tonight, the roommate had decided to hang his keys on the little keyholder I have beside the door. He never asked if he could use it. He's lucky his keys did not land outside in the yard somewhere. I was nice and sat them on the floor at the top of the steps. Last night he left a dirty t-shirt on top of my towel in the bathroom. Friday night, he came home at 9 pm and asked if he could do laundry since he didn't have any clean clothes. I do laundry on Sundays, and I came home this afternoon, and he had a load of clothes in the washer. It is little stuff, but I am starting to get really annoyed at his lack of respect for me. I have started to make a list of house rules in writing and I will give it to him this week.
