~11 am February 15 ~11 am February 16
our little nuisance dusting:
and on the "Bridge Side"
With the ground covered up the "poor" birds had no food source, so
they said “Hey! Let’s go over to the Feeder’s house, he always has full
feeders!
Well, they were for a while,, the hoards of voracious little bas**rds cleaned out the feeders in
almost half a day. Plus they were by and
large those annoying Grackles who have no social graces whatsoever. Pretty much drove away the usual diners of
finches, cardinals, juncos and so forth. But, as a birder friend says when i bitch about selective feeding, "If you're going to feed the birds feed the birds!"
Later in the day we were treated to everything from rain to
sleet to freezing rain, a veritable buffet (hey, this is food blog) of wintry
precipitation and winds. An “all rain”
overnight had us awaken today with everything but the remnants of plow piles
gone. Amazing.
So, what’s a snowbound Feeder to do? Keep going on “the project”. So much to MFO’s delight this
Has changed to
And this
Has morphed to
Now, the only remaining task is to clean up the Blogger’s
Table. More to come. and, oh by the way have you ever noticed that when you "organize" you can't find anything anymore?
And to conclude the kind of short report today, just a
couple of this and that’s. First of all, after throwing brickbats at the Super Bowl half time show, I should note that Lady Gaga gave very nice signing of the National Anthem before the
game. Oh God, I thought, what will she
come up with? Well, she came up with a
classic, tasteful, performance of the Anthem.
Good for her.
And just a little food buzz which may or may not prove
true. Bollywood Masala may be moving to
Lenny’s. There could be a “pumphouse”
establishment somewhere along the 235 corridor (DB’S?);
Front Porch is undergoing some renovations. The fate of Café Des Artistes seem to remain
in flux. They should say “the heck with
it”, and just keep going. But after
bringing us so much joy for so many years they deserve to have some semblance
of a normal retirement near friends and family.
Guess that’s it.
