Its a 14 degree white morning out there in the yard. It looks like we got about three inches of sleet and snow last night. But the sun is shining this morning and if nothing else --- it brightens the spirits.

The trees and feeders are busy this morning as the buffet continues to be visited. We have redbirds, bluebirds, blackbirds greybirds, yellowbirds and a whole bunch of mixed varieties of colors hopping and flying and fussing for the best spot at the feeders. Its like a Las Vegas casino for birds.

I reckon at some point today I need to try and shovel off the drive and sidewalk. I'm hoping that my treating the driveway will make the removal easier. If so then it will be John Deere time. The other job today is taxes. Ms. Kate wants to get them done this week.  Yuk!

The porch is brighter today cause Ms. Kate has come out to watch the birds with me. The sun is really glistening through the ice on the limbs. As usual --- God did good.

Time to refill the coffee cup. I hope you have a wonderful day.
