LOL!  Want me to send you an ICE ball?

Persia is thrilled by all the birds on my icy patio.  I'm actually kind of
thrilled, too.  I never, EVER saw a large redbellied woodpecker eating on
the ground until this morning.  But there he was, pecking away at sunflower
seeds.  And I've got tiny pine warblers:

Tufted titmice, robins, dark-eyed juncos, cardinals, blue jays, robins,
mourning doves... I have to go thaw the bird bath although it won't stay
that way for long; it's only 21F here.

Enjoy your snow!

  Glad you are happy.

  Sorry to introduce a serious note, but nearly every country except one
has come to an agreement to limit emissions because they lead to global
warming, which affects [among other things] weather patterns.

  So, expect more snow in the years to come as the weather gets more
extreme.  :(

  And, please, people living in that country, write to whoever has the
power and ask them to join the global agreement.  :)
