Getting harder to make myself get out in the morning, wade out and clear a square to scatter the bird seed and peanuts. I have to, I know this, ’cause there sure is nothing for those critters to find to eat beyond what some folks like me are providing. So I do it. But getting to be grudgingly and that’s not nice. I’m just so tired of the wind and the snow and the cold and… Alas…I imagine the critters are even more tired of it. After all, they have to live out in it, which is a miserable thought. We’re all waiting for spring.
