Monday's Moves........

 

I had to take about four shots to get this one in focus.  I was glad to see it eating suet.  I am guessing it is a nuthatch. It flew in right after a large group of juncos and sparrows had fluttered away in mass.

When I had edited the first picture, I thought I would check this one to see if the bird was in better focus.  I discovered another on the bottom floor of the feeder.  I believe both of them are white breasted nuthatches.  I usually only see one at a time and it would be easy to think that there was just one. The guy on the suet feeder had crawled up and down the posts of the feeder like a little acrobat which is characteristic of their behavior on trees.

I also shared a similar picture of this squirrel on my Photo a Day blog.  The glare spots have been reduced from the double panes of windows.  I still have an orb over his eye.  The paranormal people would say that it is a ghost but it isn't today, just the sun reflecting back and forth between the window and storm window.

While I am lacking any color in my blog I decided to share this new finding.  I had noticed a brochure at the town grocery store which was sharing the positive sights to see in the small town of 1000 people.  At the back of the brochure I was surprised and glad to see the photo of our mural in it that we painted over three years ago.  It is 6 foot by 6 foot in size so the photo doesn't quite suggest it's true impression as when you see it.  It was a big job for the two of us to paint but it has up to now not been advertised very much.  It shares a spot with our small swimming pool, the social center sign and the Masonic crest that decorates the top of one of our old bring building on main street.

I am sitting in the study hall of the middle school today.  It will be a long day of student sitting but it won't be too bad of an assignment.  I didn't get called in until late, 30 minutes after school had started.  I wasn't ready to be at school but I made some abbreviated changes to my clothes and appearance and showed up for the job.  The principal was glad to see me.  It is sunny again today with a temperature to be 25 degrees F.   We are still having very cold nights.  Snowstorm is on its way by tomorrow.  I was glad I was called in late as I didn't figure I would get work tomorrow with the weather.   I hope all of you are staying safe.   Thanks for stopping by today........stay warm.
