The sky is blue and filled with sunshine this morning.  It was a cold night but that -27C has become -10C.

I had to refill all the bird feeders.  The deer emptied them overnight and all the feathered diners were waiting for breakfast.  As soon as the seeds came out, so did the birds.  The pine grosbeaks were singing to me.  The chickadees were calling out for 'cheeseburgers' and the blue jays squawked from the tree tops.  A magpie helped himself to the grain in the deer dish.
 
It is shaping up to be a grand day to participate in some outdoor activities.  I hope all those heading out will enjoy the sounds of nature.  I won't be one of them today but am anticipating a lot of outdoor time by the weekend.  I'm adding some new equipment to the arsenal of winter toys and I should be getting it this week.  It is going to provide a different opportunity for more fun in the snow.  Exciting!
