"Donuts. Is there anything they can't do?" Just ask Homer, our resident red squirrel who thinks he's at a breakfast buffet each morning.It's hard to chase him away. He's good entertainment for the cats. The Siamese sisters are going cabin crazy. Although they are indoor cats, in the late spring, summer, and early fall, they can lounge in the hammock on the enclosed porch. We call it the kitty-cat condo.
While Homer fine-dined, this chickadee hung out on an icicle patiently awaiting its turn.This morning, when I awoke, the thermometer read -16 F. We all deserve donuts, with a side of hot chocolate.
I keep reminding myself that each day is one day closer to spring, whenever that might be. Tonight's forecast? More cold and, of course, more of the fluffy white stuff. That would be snow for you non-North Country folks.

A chickadee on an icicle??!! Wow. That's amazing! Great shot. We were much warmer here last night...due to the snow!
I tried to take one of the woodpecker on the icicle, but as I was setting up the shot, he tapped on the ice and broke it!
