Gratitude Monday -- A Lovely Spring Day in the Winter.

Yesterday's temperature was in the mid plus teens. It was warm and melty and the sun was bright.
It was a spring preview.  I love those days and am very grateful for them.
I went for a walk and came back to chickadees circling the empty feeder.
I fed them soon afterward and they hardly cursed me at all.
I'm grateful for that, too.

Hope, and Some Things in the Background with Feathers

The sun has been working its magic on the latest snowfall.
This melt is from our roof. We collect it in a basin for the birds to drink from and bathe in. We have hope it and the rest of the melt will continue.
While we had no takers yesterday, there are are chickadees and house finches about as you can hear in the background.

Photo-Finish Friday --Chickadees At Sunset

I get that this is very similar to the photo in the post below, but this one has birds.
If you look on the branches you'll see two chickadees resting between feeder forays as the sun goes down.

Photo Finish Friday - Chickadees at Sunset

Chickadees wait in a tree as the sun sets behind them on a cold winter day.
