Weather looks pretty good today, temperature is -1, outside, so it's a little cooler than we've had lately. I think today's activity may involve a little plumbing. Either today or tomorrow I've got to run in town, pay a few bills before the end of the month, etc. Life is more or less back to normal again. Thursday will be a holiday but not as much fan fare as Christmas. It must be the mild weather, but the feeders are not as exciting as they normally are - we have all the regulars - Chickadees, BlueJays, Mourning Doves, Juncos, Goldfinches and I'm seeing a few Pine Siskins. Haven't seen any Evening Grosbeaks for a long time.
It was a wet Sunday but not torrential downpours; mostly a steady light rain. Lexi and I got out a couple of times, only because I figured we both needed the exercise and were getting a little stir crazy for some fresh air. Gifts were all put away, some laundry caught up. Decided I'd try the soft pretzel recipe that I had found some time ago - they were tasty,but would tweak a few things next time. I made those for lunch and then moved on to pizza for supper. A good reason for a little extra walking. It did stop around supper time. Larry couldn't resist any longer and dug out the old card table and started a jigsaw puzzle. Usually we have one on the go during the winter.
This is actually the reflection of the tree branch in the lake.
A plump Pine Siskin, there are several regular ones at the feeders most days.
Saturday morning's sunrise through the trees.
In the woodpile.
There was just a little ice along the edge of the swamps and puddles.
Love those roadside weeds.
Mallards were skimming across the lake.
Enjoy your day!
