Let Us Pray

Hey, Buddy! It's -32F (-36C) and my nuts are frozen so I didn't think you'd mind if I came a bit closer to the house for a taste of your corn. Please, I'm beggin' you...

Indeed, tho beautifully sunny, that is the temperature as I write this, and yet, remarkably, life goes on in the outside world. The flock of blue jays just completed their run around the trees along the lake, I can hear the crows calling, fresh tracks abound in the deep snow, and this guy decided to pay an early visit. Hard to imagine anything functioning in this cold, but for some it must be done. If you notice the length of hair on the squirrel's paws, nature does provide as it can...

 

[And, yes, this is a male...but hopefully his words won't be misconstrued...;-)..]
