SNOW DAY - Update

Today is a snow day. We're in the middle of at least 8 inches of accumulation. For me, it's a bit of a waste because we're in Spring Break. At the same time, a meeting scheduled for tonight was cancelled. And the Good Mr. Dr.'s college is also closed, which means we both get to stay home.

To celebrate, the Good Mr. Dr. went to the kitchen to make eggs. That's when he noticed this:
We have decided that our Sunday evenings would be devoted to painting birdfeeders. We finished two and hung them earlier this week. Apparently, our gift pleases the many birds of the neighborhood. I know it's hard to see from this picture, but there are about four types of birds down there. Including, our favorite:

This is a cardinal. We've got a male and two females that come by regularly. The bird feeders we are working on right now will be filled with food that is specific to their tastes.

We hope you are having a good day, even if you don't get a snow day.

Update
The Good Mr. Dr. went out to refill the bird feeders sometime in the late morning. He put it almost 4 cups in each bird feeder. By early afternoon, it was almost all gone.

This could mean two things. The birds are starving, possibly because of the snow. Or the bird feed we bought from our local supermarket is addictive, like McDonalds French Fries. If we bought bird feed from Whole Foods, would the birds still eat it?
