Such a delight to awaken to sunshine!!!! It is almost blinding!!!! The ground was white with frost. No rain until “next Thursday” (22nd) per weatherman. Hallelujah!!

I have about one hundred birds (more or less) in my yard. I must replenish the feeders.

I worked in the yard this afternoon. I filled bird feeders, picked up fallen limbs and scattered pine cones. I was delighted to see daffodils poking tiny green spears through soil in a planter. North Carolina daffodils!! They didn’t bloom for me last year because planted too late.
