Around the Backyard

Several mornings ago the backyard was beautifully

decorated in a thin coat of ice.

 The catbird nest is still in the Japanese Maple and I'm

wondering if they return to the same nest.

 I've been keeping the bird feeders filled and the heated

birdbath filled with fresh water.

 I've also been tossing out a few handfuls of

peanuts in shell for the blue jays.

Back in the house the westies love to bake in the

morning sun after breakfast.
