The juncos know where the best meal is and the fence is no problem.' smile'

That ice is definitely a problem. Is there a gutter that is plugged up? I'm sure Dave will fix it.

I'm kind of surprised now that it is only juncos. There are other birds that size. I suppose they will be next.

I texted him. He's already got a plan. :-)

juncos are ground feeders
they're my first sign of snow.

the door freezing like that is amazing.

That's probably why it is the juncos in there. I throw scratch on the ground for the chickens and they like it that way.

Re: Hiccups

Sometimes taking three swallows of water without breathing helps, but the only time someone else cured me is the best story.

I have a tendency towards defensiveness. It was worse when I was younger.

I came down with the hiccups in the house of a casual acquaintance whom I was visiting with friends. They persisted.

Eventually, the conversation turned. Our host went over to the mantel of her fireplace, turned, and said, "Where is that $5 I left over here?" Everyone shrugged. Then she turned to me. "You were standing over here. Did you take it?"

"No, no," I protested.

"Are you sure?" she said, getting a bit aggressive now, "You were the only one over here."

"No, I didn't, really!" I looked to my friends for help.

Then our host grinned at me and said "Your hiccups are gone, aren't they?"

She was right!

that's a good story
that kind of scare would put your whole body into a different state
