There are some mornings that I am happy to stay home and tidy up the mouse-house. This is one of those frosty, icy and cold ones.
The side window was a thing of beauty at 7am and caught my attention as Audrey did her figure eight around the kitchen floor yelling her profanities. "Hang on, Audrey....just one picture. ;-) Oh boy, she was livid. lol
Standing at the teeny-weeny kitchen's window I watched as the birds struggled at the feeders and the crows actually slipped on the ice-covered snow getting to any food that had fallen overnight.
Our Pileated Woodpecker friend arrived and finished off a suet cake in minutes.
I knew this weather was coming and had prepared the feeders late yesterday. They are packed full of a variety of seeds and nuts for our poor feathered friends.
I expect Simon will stay in today and eat from his well-stocked pantry.

I watched Simon yesterday gorge on seeds, apples and nuts; even some multi-grain crusts, so I know he is good for awhile.
The kitties are now content after their breakfast and will play like kittens for awhile.

On this dark, dismal day it's a good time to hunker-down
and play
in the mouse-house.
hugs, Deb
