The monk and the finch by MBG

Oy! Winter! This round of snow was a hard one and I was ill prepared. I've learned several valuable lessons on self-sufficiency: buy boots, park at the front of the driveway-not 20 feet back, keep cash on hand to pay kids who offer to shovel, keep the shovel inside (not out), when snow is predicted do not keep your ice scraper in the car (as well as your gloves and heaviest coat). Sigh.

However, it was an exceptionally beautiful snow with lots of ice and Marie managed to catch this fantastic shot of my monk and a happy yellow finch, gorging on sunflower seed. He's been on loan to her but now that I have my own yard again, he's coming back this spring.

I hope everyone is safe and dry. Aside from working hard, I have nothing new to report except I am happy (if stressed)!
