Weather and birds and old people

The temperature wasn't missing this morning. There was a little bit of it, but not a great deal. Certainly not enough to make Ozarks Boy happy.
The sun is out this afternoon and it is warmer, but as soon as the sun goes down, it's going to plummet again.
What happened to that global warming the Democrats were talking about? I'm going to have to do a little internet research on that deal. I was counting on global warming to get me through my old age.
The birds are congregating at our seed and suet feeders. There's a beautiful cardinal on the black sunflower seed feeder right outside the window, and he is eating as fast as he can. I'm going to have to bundle up, go outside and replenish those feeders. I see one sunflower seed feeder was emptied yesterday.
If you're not feeding the birds, you should. They can use the help during this cold weather. My wife and I enjoy the birds so we feed year-round and watch them. They're highly entertaining for us old folks.
That cardinal in the morning sunlight is gorgeous. The Lord did a good job in that design; well, the Lord did a good job in all His designs (except for snakes). Now a tufted titmouse has landed on the feeder with him. Whoops, the cardinal just ran the titmouse away.
I'm going to have to get out there and get some more seed to them. I also need to put some water in the birdbath. The birds around here are so coddled, that the birdbath has a mini heater in it to keep it from freezing solid. As long as the city pumps electric to us, we can keep the birds watered.
Birds better pray every night before bedtime, thanking God for old people who take care of them.
