Rain

It's been raining for several days and we have
really needed it. Brody is dry and cozy inside
on a pile of cushions that were meant for the
porch chairs but would have been soaked
had they been out there.

The birdbath has been filled by the rain...

The birds are soaked but venture over to the
birdfeeder still...

Sunflower Seeds in the Birdbath

We managed to save some of the sunflower seeds
from our sunflowers this fall and after filling the
bird feeder, D threw the leftovers in the birdbath.
Didn't take long for our feathered friends to discover
them. Ooooo, it is so cold and early this evening it
was 8 degrees and falling!

A Sunny Day

Yesterday was cloudy and cool and we were
very worried about our dear Polly...
she seemed ill.
She slept all day and didn't eat
which is very uncharacteristic of her.

This morning I was so relieved to see her
greet me for her breakfast.
She went out on the back porch and when I
peeked out to see what she was up to, I was
touched to see her in a basket in the sunshine.

Perhaps she was being entertained by all of the
chipmunks we have running through the
garden this year and doing very funny things.
