Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

I am glad the tufted titmice are back–as common as they are.  There was seed that was not picked over and the birds returned.  I even saw black-capped chickadees again.  And today saw a house wren.  Even birds are particular what they eat.  I was really glad to see a steady stream of titmouse again.  For that matter I never remembered seeing them before I put out sunflower seed.  I appreciated them a little more.

There is something comforting about a snowstorm and knowing there is no where else to go and all you can do is enjoy the snowflakes and your house and pets and your wife.

It just started an half an hour ago.  The snow flakes are tiny so I know I am in for it.  I can’t change the weather.  I just did a quick shopping trip not that I was going to run out of anything but I was low on a few supplies.

Tomorrow I will sprinkle some birdseed on the snow.  I already filled the suet.  The woodpeckers and nuthatch will greet me tomorrow.  My sunflowers feeder is still relatively full and I will get a steady stream of titmouse and black capped chickadees.

If the worst possibly scenario presents itself and we lose power, I have plenty of coal.  We will ride out the storm and enjoy all our bird visitors who come to our feeders and our four dogs will frolic in the snow.  Is there any thing better than that?
