They rest between their flits back and fro from the feeder, the lil' cuties braving the wind and heavy snow.
He/she has an issue with the birds and not with the trash we generate, it amazes me just how selfish & stupid people can be.

Through the screened door, not as clear as one would like but I love the Chickadee and this one's lovely pose, poise and form...
And this cutie with a seed in between it's feet :)
Or this cheeky chickadee's tempation :)

When too low, just dig right in or go down a perch :D
This is such a delightful little bird, brave, amazingly and courageous, their calls are also very lovely, I've taken to placing the feed in a plate now :) ( btw the pink is due to pinky house next door which is the dof here)
They make me happy beyond compare, the lovely Black Capped Chickadees do!
To A Chickadee
By Charles D. Campbell
Perky little chickadee
Warms the very heart of me.
Summer parent, winter neighbor
Hot to cold seems not to matter:
Others leave but you're no snowbird,
Fluff your feathers' spend the winter.
Thistle sliver's sunflower seeds
Satisfy your major needs.
Mine a metabolic ration;
Tiny seeds yield your elation.
Feet to perch--head down--tail up'
Acrobatic fluid motion.
Twinkly eye beyond my hand,
Can you see and understand
My challenging complexities?
You revel in simplicities.
I am stronger but I need
A few of your abilities:
You can fly from tree to tree,
I can travel when I'm free;
You meet the sunrise while I sleep,
I ponder isms wide and deep;
You fly to be with merry flock,
I stand apart my pride to keep.
Perhaps it's best we not try
To close the gap, you and I,
Friendship is spelled in joys and deeds:
You light my day, I give some seeds.
From lofty perch I hear your call;
My day brighter I stand more tall.

A little fella or filly finds a Peanut, bringing it up to the nest ( thank goodness no longer in our soffit)
With any luck the nests they've built in the sugar maple will stand the test of man.
In the dead of winter this bough was oncea heaven that afforded the sunlight for this Squirrel to sleep and warm it's little bones on, it sadly for the Squirrels, no longer exists. Reckless cuts.

Oak Square's YMCA
Once upon a time in Oak Square, in October of 1943 to be exact, Smith's Market stood at this very location.
A gas station followed, and was razed for the YMCA.
I wish I could go back, just for a day and photograph everything my eyes desired, share it with you, wouldn't that be wonderful ! ?
Oh I think it would be grand to walk the streets of an earlier time in space.
Walk on dirty instead of concrete, less people, less cars, more space.
I'm so very appreciative of the archives from the Brighton Allston Historical Society, it would be great to have had a couple more perspectives, the image in the link is facing west to Washington St., one of the roads to Newton Watertown, and the Mass. Pike, which was not yet craved out in 1943,
it was perhaps a thought in a mind or two.
I'm not a spring chicken by any means, still, I must keep in mind that the Cameras of 1943 weren't wasn't as easy peasy as todays cameras.
The digital age makes it so inexpensive to shoot to one's heart's content, this I'm extremely grateful !

What a crock
Insulation should be Cheap
http://www.sprayfoamdirect.com/applications/8mistakes.php
Hmm interesting concept - so just because homes are expensive (not in every state bubb) insulation should be expensive as well, come on folks, it's fiberglass, Styrofoam, aluminum & bubble paper or paper pulp being blown into the attic and floors.
How did we get this belief? Homes are definitely not cheap. Energy is no longer cheap and won't be for at least 50 years.
Why do we expect the very things that control and contain this energy in our homes and buildings to be cheap?
