Feeding Critters
It’s been one of those ridiculously snow-heavy winters. Yes, Spring has made numerous attempts to emerge, but Winter keeps slapping it back with a ground-covering sheet of snow, and I’ve lost count of the Yule-tide-worthy displays of slowly falling snow of various flake-sizes (one of which is currently in progress as I’m writing this).
To help the little critters/birds through it all, we’ve taken to leaving a piece of bread-roll out on the back-patio. It’s been pretty popular with both birds and at least one mouse, but today was the first time that we saw a bird AND a mouse visiting the lump of carbohydrates at the same time. And so I whipped out my camera…

A bird, a bread and a mouse.
Bird gone, mouse probably thinking 'Mine, Mine, aalll Miiiine'!! 🙂
Cute mouse on bread.
This day belonged to Spring, with very little snow on the ground. Winter was miffed and dumped hail on Spring later in the evening.
The ever popular bread still getting pecked at. It was all gone the next day.
