We have had quite a time of it, these past few days. We have experienced frozen washing machine water pipes, and have had TWO visits by our friendly neighborhood tow truck service, as Megan and Chris both managed to get stuck in our own driveway.
I should also mention that our snow plow driver broke his plow while clearing our snow!
Those furntzers are at it again.

This Mourning Dove greeted me early today outside my window.
And not too long after that, a second one joined him.
Here is one of them, eyes almost closed, or did I catch a slow blink? Did you know that Mourning Doves are members of the Pigeon family? Do you think I should change the name of my blog to doveshavepants? But then I would have to change the name of my cat Pigeon - never mind.
Jessica suggested that I could attract the Pileated Woodpeckers in my yard to a suet feeder and she was right.
This feeder is about ten feet from my great room picture window. That’s a lot closer than the woods, where I took his picture from last time.
A pair of cardinals.
The look out.
Snack time.
Just two guys.
On the diagonal.
This beautiful but noisy jay has been visiting lately.
I love this picture of his back. The pattern of his feathers reminds me of a lovely mosaic.
I have been luring this Blue Jay up to the feeders by my window. I took one one the suet cakes, formulated with red berries and cut it up in fourths, then I placed pieces of it on the bunch of kindling sticks at the top of the wood Pile, that is stacked on my front porch. It worked, although he did fly back to the trees to eat it!
Megan was three months old when we brought home two new kittens who were sisters. We named them Kit and Fiver. Megan loved to dress Kit up, and Kit was very accommodating.
