Wishing everyone the best of the season!

That's Not A Sparrow (Or Is It)
Looking out the window the other day, I spotted this bird.
A new one for me.
It's a Wood Thrush.*
Wood Thrushes are forest-interior birds and are unlikely to come to feeders.
Although it summers in this area,
it should have been on it's way down south.
I hope this was a quick stop over,
and this little guy is on his way to Central America!
*Edit: Tex thinks it's a Fox Sparrow, she knows her birds, so maybe I have misidentified it. If so, it's a still a new one for me, and it won't freeze to death as a Thrush is likely to in this climate.

It's Snowing
Winter (snow) has arrived early again this year.
The backyard critters are looking for food.
Male Northern Cardinal
Black Squirrel (Pawsy)
Mourning Dove
The muscle spasticity and pain that have wreaked havoc with my body over the past few weeks, has been tamed to a level of tolerance, which is allowing me to return to some of my normal activities...one of them being, taking pics of my backyard visitors.
I am hoping to post here at least once a week, and resume visiting and commenting, on all my friends blogs. It feels good to be back!

Pause
I won't be blogging for a while,
because I am ill, (it's the MS, as my doctor says).
Thanks to everyone that has stopped by,
and taken the time to look, and leave a comment on my posts.
Until next time...cheers

This could be my last post for a while, until BLOGGER gets the on again, off again "word verification" issue solved. With vision problems due to Multiple Sclerosis, I can't decipher the CAPTCHA codes. I do visit other blogs, but it's almost impossible for me to leave a comment a lot of the time.

My blog is word verification free, but Blogger seems to have other ideas, and won't let me turn the word verify off.

I do not use word verification on my blog, BUT for some reason it has been showing up on my comment area several times today. I have turned it off repeatedly ...looks like a Blogger glitch.
Is anyone else having this problem?

At The Beach
We went to the beach on the weekend. The last visit until next spring.
It was chilly(54F)and windy, we were the only people there!
Beep had a great time running back and forth on the shore.
We had a picnic dinner, and stayed to watch the sunset.
