Today might be chilly and tonight downright cold, but better temperatures are on the way. So looking forward to the snow and ice melting away. My little path out to where I feed the birds and critters has becoming an uneven slippery treacherous mess. Could I scatter some deicer salt along the way? Yeah, I could, but the animals use that pathway to get up to where my heated birdbath is, so in all fairness, I can’t justify putting down something that unhealthy for them. I’m just gingerly treading my way through the jagged ice, hoping Mother Nature does hurry up and help it melt. And since we’re all aware of just how unhelpful she can be…anyway, I’m being as careful, going as slow as if I’m an 80 year old woman….which far too often I totally forget I actually am :>)

The picture today is one of the turkey’s that show up for Bud and Beth’s feeding station. Magnificent, isn’t he? Great, in my mind, to help keep such creatures alive and well fed. I’m so happy my kids have these generous natures.

Anyway, bottom line is better weather is on the way. It’s MARCH – and – MARCH COULD BE NICE. This one promises to be one such month. I’m keeping the faith.
