Looking for Goodness
Turtledoves on the back steps this morning. This might be a long post, because it has been a long day. As you can see, we've had snow, and it's beautiful, and it's deep enough that it needs to cleared from walkways and driveways. When it snows, the birds have a harder time finding food, so my feeders have been busy all day. For a while there were hundreds of red-winged black birds taking their turns at the feeders. I knew their favorite feeder was empty because they left what was left for the cardinals and juncos, chickadees, downy woodpeckers, and red-bellied woodpeckers. Deer are more brave on snowy days as well, and they made their way across the prairie south of our home. The wind was low today, which made it much more pleasant to be shoveling snow, which I did for several hours today. Since I'm getting older, I go slowly, lift less, and enjoy the view while I push the snow away. This evening I have that lovely tiredness that comes from physical work. I'm grate...
