I forgot to fill the bird feeder. Then it got to be something that just slipped out of my mind for a couple of weeks. Poor things. Then when it got really cold outside, and I tried to feed them....the door to our deck was frozen shut. Finally, I remembered to ask Rob to unstick it for me. It took him about two minutes, even though I could not figure it out for the life of me. After I filled the (almost) squirrel - proof feeder (they should prepare for winter better and leave the bird's food alone), I decided it was time to put out the suet pinecone that Delaney made at school (and which had been gracing our kitchen counter in a ziplocked bag for about 32 days).
Well, needless to say, the birds were quick to forgive. They have been making up for lost time ever since. I love to watch them during my stolen moments knitting at the kitchen table. The kids too (not while knitting....homework, breakfast, reading, whatever)
Welcome back, feathered friends! I promise to be better to you from now on.
Today, we are getting big snow. Finally!
