Coffee Time! #4

Good morning everyone! It is another chilly morning, though not so bad as yesterday. It was -38F (-39C) yesterday morning, but it did warm up to -30F (-34C) by mid afternoon, not exactly super warm. Okay, it was just cold. Plain cold. Skin numbing cold. I still went shopping though. I like to be wild and crazy sometimes. 

I do remember walking down to the river when it was that cold. That meant being outside for nearly 2 hours. I was dressed warm though. My winter boots are good to -49F (-45C), so my feet were always warm walking to the river. These are the first boots I have had that actually keep my feet warm. I must admit, my feet get cold very easily, so it is nice to have boots that keep them warm. 

This Red-breasted Nuthatch knows how to pose.

It is snowing lightly this morning. The temp was -30F (-35C) this morning, but it has warmed up a couple of degrees already. The sun is actually trying to shine right now too. I am sitting next to my living room window, coffee beside me, enjoying the view while remaining warm. That is about as wild and exciting I want to be today. 

I need to vacuum in here today, wash the kitchen floor, then try to finish the dusting. That is one problem with having lots of smaller stuff, it does take a while to dust it all. Sigh. I do not mind really, if I did I would get rid of more stuff. But I like having lots of stuff. I have all that is needed to make a new laptop table, finally. 

Same nuthatch, different pose, so nice.

I was going to buy one, but I just could not find one that fit what I wanted. This is a very simple idea and it should work out very nicely. If not I will jump up and down, pull my hair and bang my head against the wall. Well, not in actual fact. But I might think about doing it. Maybe. Okay, I am just joking, for anyone who might think I am serious. 

My internet has gone off 3 times this morning already, so it is taking me a long time to get this done. I am sharing some pics of my winter bird friends from a couple years ago. They always pose so nicely. Too bad that people don’t do that. Pose nicely, I mean. There are some people who will pose nicely for a pic, I just have not found any yet. Sigh. 

A nice simple pose by this Pine Siskin.

So I gave up. At least birds cooperate. Well, most of the time anyway. Oh well. Maybe I should just give up photography. It does get complicated sometimes. Oh well, minor details. I hope you all have a wonderful day and God bless! 

Steve and Muffin.
