I need to get my birdfeeder up since winter's coming. I love to watch the birds at the feeder.Brenda Kay Ledfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077314514118637590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-83845236913569194522009-11-18T10:39:21.514-05:002009-11-18T10:39:21.514-05:00Wow!

Of course, we're also feeding our share of the squirrels. But we don't mind... All creatures are welcome!<br /><br />I love seeing the birds against the bright white of snow.

I know what you mean about the difference between WI rain and NC rain. My hunch is that WI rain is a lot like Vermont rain! We've had the sunniest November in Vermont that I can remember.
