The birds aren't really strange as in odd, just strange as in I don't really know them. They are ordinary house finches. I love to watch them come to the feeder and eat. They are all over that aspen tree in my back yard.
It is snowing like crazy. I got up at 4 and was in the pool by 5 a.m. The ride to the pool and back was terrifying. I do a lot of talking to God on these ill-advised journeys of mine. I am hoping that if I don't leave for work until 8 a.m., most of the traffic will be gone and the plows will have been out. I think this might be wishful thinking as the tracks in the driveway from my car returning are already totally covered over with snow.
Today I am just grateful to God that I am sober, there is no real drama going on, I can go to work today - with only one meeting on my schedule - and come home from work tonight. I am grateful for an ordinary life today.
For an alcoholic, that truly is strange!

Take care out there on the roads. Wow--snow, but it is winter for sure there.
I'm stuck up north in the beautiful city of Brush, CO and for various and assorted reasons, I really need to get home. But I'll keep trying to reassure myself that God will get me there, when he gets me there. Stay safe.
Hi MC :-) I love to watch the bird on our feeders as well. It makes me feel good to feed the bird, especially this time of the year.
I'm glad you slipped-slided your way to and from the pool safely today!
I love birds! We have several feeders and watching them is such a peaceful feeling.
Stay safe on those roads. I'm impressed that you get up so early to swim!
We got our first dusting (less than 1") on Tuesday night. Give us a pic tomorrow morning, OK.
I like the photo of those little finches on a snowy day.
As others have said, please take care driving in dangerous conditions.
I think you should call your boss and say "hey, it's snowing, so of course no work today right?"
New boyfriends and cold weather kind of go together.
I spoke at an AA meeting last week and contrasted my old life – full of risky business, living on the edge – with today's knitting, cooking, gardening ... ordinary and yet extraordinary because I am present for it.
Stay safe, and keep all that snow to yourself! Heh.
Hope these birds come in upcoming winters too.
