Sunday at Home,...

The past week has been busy for me with my granddaughter's high school basketball season winding down. Her junior varsity team finished with an excellent record and her last game of the season was especially good for her.

Now it's time to relax a bit with a week of school winter break. Our weather is that great late-winter mix of clear blue skies and warming temperatures. I didn't need a jacket when outside to fill bird feeders. This is the view to the northwest from my deck, just a few minutes ago.

And looking down the hill through the woods to the hayfield below... this is where I often see deer. But they are usually on the move and by the time I get my camera they are out of range. The sunlight is shining brightly through the pines.

I guess a message is sent far and wide that the feeders are full again,... the birds are flying in,...

Chickadees are usually the first to arrive, ...

Here's a little pine sisken peeking around as if to say "thank you, mom!"
