Feed the Birds!!!

"Come feed the little birds, show them you care And you'll be glad if you do."

Sitting outside the dance studio last night,

I remembered I hadn't filled the bird feeder and a

MAJOR STORM was about to hit.

I text my husband, thirty-five miles away at home

with the boys:

"please fill the bird feeder before

the (insert snowman icon here) hits"

and I get in reply,

"we will"

I love technology!!!

In the middle of the night, I woke up for

two reasons: my six year old was between us

in bed with a 104° fever,

(so he needed a dose of Motrin and a

cooling strip for his forehead and back);

AND I was worried that the raccoons

would eat all the birdseed

out of the bird feeder!

From the house, it looked like two of the

tubes were clogged; so out he went ...

... my adorable husband ... 

 

... into the snow ...

... to unblock the tubes, top everything off

with fresh birdseed, and ...

 ... here they came!!!

This is the view from my bedroom window:

This pic is of the back deck;

look under the wooden chest ...

They're so quick, I couldn't catch them with

my camera, but the birdies are

ducking for cover underneath the chest

on the back porch!

My husband told the boys the birds

are under there playing poker

and smoking cigars.
