blackbird pie
we woke up to a perfectly normal day! it was so disappointing. now, though, it is starting to sleet and icicles are forming on the roof. sleet is the most boring precipitation possible. little white beads that you can't play in and aren't beautiful.
my yard has been covered in blackbirds. milo got up and ran to the window pointing excitedly and jibbering behind his passy to show me. they are fun to watch, yanking worms out of our frozen yard, but when they start getting into my feeder i have to open the front door and they fan out in a black wave across the sky.
hope everyone has a cozy weekend.

It's cold and rainy here. They are calling for snow and sleet. Kind of disappointing after we had a 75 degree day on Thursday.

That must have been exciting to see that many birds at one time.
One time I looked out my door to see so many sitting on an electrical wire that I couldn't count them. By the time I ran in and got my camera, they flew away. ;o(

Yep, gotta scare off those blackbirds...they are bullies and the nuthatches and chickadees don't stand a chance. Your sleet and bead analogy is great...it's so true!!
