It's a bit nippy....................

The temps are getting lower, in the minus today. Wind chills on top of that make it colder than the North Pole or Alaska. The poor animals and birds. I am feeding flocks of Starlings, they are so hungry and people chase those away from the feeders. I can't do that. They all need to eat. Only one squirrel today braved the cold. The Poodles do not want to go out at all and neither do I. We needed dog biscuits and Gerry didn't feel like doing the drive so I baked some myself.

One lot is oatmeal, peanut butter and applesause. The other one is Whole wheat flour and chicken broth with a little oil. They seemed to like them both and I know they are healthy so I may just keep making them. We shall see. I will probably get lazy but really it only took a few minutes to make them and I want to try one with smushed carrots. The Starlings are really enjoying my mix of rice crispies and peanut butter with crisco and Coconut oil. I must make more of that for tomorrow.
So Gerry had to get out and clear the front path for the mail man


So I went out and took some pictures. The snow makes some pretty designs.




Here are a couple of street views the side walk plough went through this morning.


The trees look so pretty

The birds look cold



I feel so bad for them. The Starlings were huddled together between feedings, had to warm up so they could eat.

They were huddled in groups all fluffed up against the wind. I wish I could bring them all inside. I have not seen any small birds at all today. I imagine trees are full of them all smushed up together to try to stay warm.My garage is open for any critter who needs shelter. Its supposed to get even colder this week. I will be staying inside.
