Ice in the Bird-Bowls, Skip-to-Maloo


Walked out around Noon-thirty to do the fast scrub and re-fill of the outside Bird's several Water Bowls, and, each one had an honest inch of Ice in it, and the Pigeons were sort of standing around looking perplexed, since the Ice prevented them from drinking, even though liquid Water of course was under the Ice...


Anyway, got all that emptied out and filled with nice Water, and they were happy, drinking and Bathing and Sunning themselves and so on...


I am, surprised there has been no Ice in here yet..! It has sure FELT cold enough some Nites...



Love,


Phil

Phil, I had to chuckle. I have not heard the skip-to-malou in a long, long time.

We have had ice in our birdbaths almost every day this week. It was so bad Tuesday that Lewis had a heck of a time chipping it out. Our crows wait patiently for him to finish and, even though it is so cold out, they jump in and start bathing.

When I was a kid, we always sang it "skip to the loo!"

Does it always get that cold in Lost Geetis, Phil?

Lol...

Yes...

But, you gotta realize...'Summer' lasts, ohhhhhhhhhhh, quite a few uninterupted YEARS at least, and by then, one can not hardly remember 'Winter' ( or anything else ), so, when it does get "COLD", it seems to be new, odd, wierd, novel, strange, not 'right', and yet curiously entertaining when not overly miserable BECAUSE it is so "cold"...


True!
