Two Visitors

The days are short, and therefore, one finds oneself up and ready to greet the winter sunrises. The sailors' doormat on my back deck is not the soft woven rope it is most often in the warmer parts of the year. The freezing night meant that it was hard as an oven grill to my stocking feet as I hurried out to put some seed for my feathered friends. I have bird feeders but sprinkle a little seed closer to the back door near the water dish to watch antics of those feathered friends at my leisure.

I was able to get the house finch (male) in his better color as the sun bounced off the surface of the water and belted his chest with rings of light. 


 A little later the shy dove came by to peek at me.



It is cold out there, but not too cold for them as they are not all puffed up.

  2. We have been enjoying watching the birds come to our feeders too. We have lots of those rosy house finches. Our resident Anna's hummingbird is enjoying both the feeder and the blooming mahonia in the yard.

  4. Minus 21 C here today and I had quite a few chickadees around the feeder.

  5. I haven't seen the finches yet and the white wing doves have mostly superseded the mourning doves here but we still see a few little inca doves.

  6. Those are some of the best kinds of visitors.

  7. When you are first diagnosed with cancer, you should immediately make an appointment with your dentist. When making your appointment, inform the receptionist of your diagnosis so they can get you in quickly. Treatment can sometimes affect your oral health. Therefore, before starting any treatment plan it is necessary to have a dental cleaning and any necessary dental work done.

  8. If a full-time job is not readily available, consider working part-time as a contractor in your field for the time being. This may get your foot in the door with a company. Recruiters also do not like to see huge time gaps in an applicant's employment history. So, working part-time can make that gap smaller.
