The breakfast bar

I sprinkled some birdseed again today as we set out for our morning walk. When we passed by the breakfast bar a short while later, this little chickadee was watching from a nearby tree.

The temperature moderated yesterday. I won't say it was warm, but it was a hint of spring. For the past week, we've been walking on a quarter inch of ice , and now that is all melted...thankfully. The downside is one dirty dog who just can't keep out of the mud.
