Yep, they predicted snow so of course we're being hit with some really nasty
sleet.  It sounds like popping corn outside!

Looks like a winter wonderland but it's actually an icy wondermess.  I'm
glad I went to the store while it was still just raining.  In a few short
hours it will be *treacherous* out there.  Thank goodness it was warm
yesterday; it will take the stuff a while to freeze solid on the ground.

Persia has been chattering away at all the wild birds on the patio.  I went
out to refill the wooden feeder; the top is frozen solid to the base.  I had
to simply scatter some seed around until I can get the top pried off to
refill it properly.

I was hoping to get some photos because the bright red cardinals look so
great against the white background.  But I couldn't get close enough to the
window without scaring them; forget about actually going outside *with* them
LOL  There were dark-eyed juncos, tufted titmice, sparrows, cardinals
(mostly male but a few female).  Carolina chickadees were zipping about and
there were even a couple of American robins eating fallen seed along with
the mourning doves.
