The widest thing occurred today. As usual I feed my ducks every day, whatever they miss goes to the little birds that are around here like sparrows, juncos, starlings and doves. Well it seems the doves have decided that this is the place to hang out at because here are 7 of them snoozing in my garden paraphernalia. I have been meaning to get out there and clean all the fences and empty pots up and put them away, but it seems the birds like all the clutter... They are a little hard to see on the left, but there are three there. The one on the top left is cute, he watches me but doesn't fly away as quickly as the others do. Guess he's used to me being curious about them. I snapped this picture through the sliding glass door because if I moved any closer they would all get nervous and fly away and I didn't want that to happen. Besides, the door was frozen shut. Literally! It has been so cold here that for two days now I've needed to use my hairdryer to thaw out the sliding door just to open it. Moments of sunshine that is usually enough to warm it and thaw it are few and far between. I feel so bad for all the little critters out in this weather, yet they survive in it. Isn't nature amazing? Click on the picture to make it much larger, that way you can see all 7 doves...
