Grumpy bluebird is not a fan of the cold.

Two bluebird photos from yesterday before the snow storm. I’ve never seen five at once before in my yard.

Bluebird is back with his three wives. I don’t judge.

At the grocery store today. We’re expecting up to 10” of snow on Saturday. I was still able to get everything I needed for my weekly shopping trip.
