Day 36: Oh dear! It's almost time to start addressing Christmas cards! I love to have snow falling and a fire in the gas fireplace during this annual task, setting the mood, filling the room with a homey ambience while outdoors, the small birds of winter flit in and out of the feeders. Today, the snow took us all by surprise, and Stickpin Sparrow (Song Sparrow) sat on the contorted filbert speaking his mind in a series of annoyed chirps. His mood lifted sharply once he saw me deliver fresh seed to the trays, and soon he was joined by Juncoes, Jays and a Towhee. Such a cheerful and bright little fellow, despite his drab colors! Maybe he can help me with the holiday greetings by lending his portrait to my cards.
