Day 8 - 8th January 2018- Pine Siskin, Grackle and Junco

Back to work this morning (for 3 weeks), going to take a few hours to adjust myself to that after being off for a month. Am anxious to get back in the swing of my project and wrap it up. Lots to do in the next few weeks. Good news - it's not as cold as it has been and this week certainly looks milder on the weather sites. A brief reprieve from the cold chill. Later in the week they are giving rain. Got to love living in NS - arctic cold one day, balmy the next! Got some things done around the house yesterday, laundry caught up, muffins made for Larry etc.  Pulled on the snow pants, scarf, mitts and went out for a quick jaunt - takes longer to put on outside clothes than the walk. I can remember as kids we'd get all dressed in our snow suits, boots, mitts and caps and sure enough someone would need to pee, 5 minutes after they got outside.

 Grackle - he comes every day.

The Junco finally came up to the feeder closest to the house.



Enjoy your day!
