Good morning, folks. I don’t know if you have seen snow yet this season—or even if you typically do—but I just came in from traipsing through about eight inches of white stuff when it’s eight below zero outside. The birds aren’t going to feed themselves. Well, okay, maybe they can but it’s fun to watch them eat from my living room.

I’m already catching a large doe noshing off my bird feeding stump. I knock on the nearest window and yell. She looks at me, but as is typical of the local deer, she’s not the least bit scared. I have to rush outside and flail my arms around to get her to run off. It gets tiresome.
As I’m finishing this, it’s snowing again. We’re only supposed to get around two inches out of this little Alberta clipper but it is going to make things colder for a time. The high temp should only be in the teens for the Packers-Bears game in Green Bay. Some people are talking wishfully about getting a break from these January-type temperatures before Christmas. I’m not getting my hopes up.
And on my household’s feline front, I just watched little Minty walk up to her sleeping brother Rogan and try to take a chomp out of one of his ears. It escalated into a bopfest. It ended with Rogan fleeing off my bed with Minty on his tail. Just another morning at Ice Blue’s house.
