Monday Morning on the Porch

     I find it interesting how routine our backyard critters and aviary friends are. 0800 seems to be "time to go to work". On the dot, the first squirrel runs across the yard from somewhere and climbs up the pole to the one feeder that we acually allocate as the "squirrel feeder". At the same time, the Blue Jay announces his presence from midway up the tulip poplar tree, and within minutes the back yard has come alive with birds of every kind. 
I topped off all of the feeders yesterday afternoon in anticipation of snowfall last night. However, thank you Lord, we were spared any snow for the first time this winter. They say the groundhog saw his shadow and we will have six more weeks of winter. Considering it is only February 3rd and mid winter solstace isn't until March 21st, of course we are going to have six more weeks of winter.
Squirrel number four is now here so let the rodent acrobatics begin. Y'all have a very blessed day. Smile at a stranger today: you will both feel better.
