thought we were in for a thaw...

 the world started to look like it should

for just a moment...

snow receding 

clouds parting

and room to move on the lake

lots of flying in and flying out

the patch of pond weed available again

 you can just see the white posterior of the swan by the tree

as a newly landed gaggle glide by......

Friday post...

9.00 am today

that's Fahrenheit for you Celsius users

that's cold..... this is not Siberia

even though we have the frozen tundra

Always a Watcher....

standing on one leg... playing flamingo ...

see the two white blobs...two white ducks mixing in with the visitors

two of these bums are not like the others

two of these bums are not the same

or so they used to sing on Sesame Street...

meanwhile the SOB's are making checkerboards in the sky

those are not contrails...airliners don't fly like that...

so as the birds have had their dinner

(I threw a cup full of seed on the snow for the ones who don't like the feeder)

I started on ours

sbussgetti anyone???

oh damn, it's pretty out there again...

it was dark in the roomontheleft this morning

even with the curtain open

and very very cold

sleet and freezing rain fell all night and then it started snowing

we had snowflakes outside

and inside!!!!!!

cold winds

and very hungry birdies

lots of them

I threw some seed on top of the snow for those that don't eat at the feeder

"cold enough for you Mrs dove>>>"

yes Mr sparrow...did you see the brass monkey???

so tired of it all...

 

"his holiness" flew in and took over the place

the way he does

but the little ones were so hungry they dared to share the feeder 

and he let them

a very unusual occurrence 

you can see how much it's snowing now

and the wise one donned his cap and grumbled a little more..

because he wasn't inside enjoying the

the fresh bread and beef barley soup with the humans

or able to share the warm blanket that is coming along 

slowly but surely!!!

cheerio from the snow covered 

roomontheleft

and this lonely forlorn looking thing down by the water side

friday in a flash....

 

have a great weekend

lost in trans-it...

I found this on Etsy on the 14th of January

it was living in Tennessee...one State over from here

I bought it

it's vintage and it's sweet and it's what I wanted

it's the 31st  today

more than enough time for this little package to have found its way here

but I wait still 

wondering what little corner of the huge machine that is the

USPS

(US Postal System)

it's lost in

I will report it missing today

as it's had plenty of time to walk here from there 

had it chosen to

so while I wait I while away part of a cold winter's afternoon

using a craft stick

to make a little lace...

the boom stick was occupied

have a great week end everybody

it's getting warmer here

the geese are sitting around a big ice hole

waiting for spring
