Our power was out for about an hour (blown transformer? I heard something blow up in the distance) and since it was nice out we opened up the house to let it air out. I was sitting at the table and watching the birds at the feeder about 10 feet away.
With the AC off I could hear their little feet pattering on the wood, their beaks pounding the sunflower seeds open, and their wings fluttering. I could also hear some of the softer calls (the white chin sparrows and the nuthatches mostly). I could also hear the squirrels rattling around in the trees at the back of the duplexes.
A nifty little experience that livened up my mood.

Meredith and I just attempted to run some errands. It's been snowing all morning but I figured the plows had been through and if we took it slow on the road we'd be fine.
WRONG.
We got out of our neighborhood with no trouble, but when we hit the main road I could see it hadn't been plowed yet, but it looked like there was blacktop visible. I turned right and immediately I had ZERO TRACTION. I had to creep along at 4 miles an hour to keep from fishtailing. I finally made it to a little side street that led back to our neighborhood, and just barely made it up the teeny tiny hill on that street(had to back up and try a few times before we made it).
I would have liked to get my errands done, but I'm just going to sit back with a cup of tea, watch some "Lost" on the DVR, and be thankful we made it back in one piece without putting the car in a ditch.
I'm ready for spring now, thank you.
