We arrived at home last Saturday afternoon. It's a long two-day drive but we had good driving conditions all the way home - no rain or snow anywhere. We thought this was the first time we'd had greenery the entire trip.
We made our usual stop in Drumright, OK where Patrick visits the cemetery and from there on to Carthage, MO. Since our last day was on a Saturday, we didn't have to worry about any rush hour traffic in either Kansas City or Minneapolis.
We saw more traffic accidents on this trip than all the other years combined. They were all single car accidents and nothing major; only one stopped us for a while.
When we got home, all of our bird feeders were totally empty. We stopped yesterday and got food and filled all the feeders. Today was the first time any birds found them; it won't take long now for the rest of the birds to arrive.
These two have been here before. When I came out of the garage carrying the board and pail of corn, the drake started "talking" to me right way. He stood back and just watched me - still chattering away.
The hen was a little more timid and stayed further out in the yard until I was completely out of sight. She wasn't too sure she should eat any of that "stuff", but once she figured out what it was, she jumped right in.
Right where the drake had been eating. They'll be back.
