Greetings, Visitors

This was a first for me: rose-breasted grosbeaks visiting my feeders. Two pairs became three and the latest count was five. They can clean out the feeders in a day and they're not too fond of sharing, but what a beautiful song!

Thanks to my mom for looking them up in her bird book.

One of those days

My foot hurts; bad enough that I'm wearing the boot again. We have frost warnings for the next five nights. It's cloudy and rainy. And all that has caused a severe case of the grumps/ borderline depressed.

I've tried to shake it off, played with Legos, ignored the sink of dirty dishes, cuddled the very friendly cat, watched Firefly; nothing has helped. I can only hope a new day will be better. Cue tomorrow.
