I have no idea why you&#8217;d want to be here in Vermont when the temperature this morning was well below zero, but thank you for choosing to stay. There is nothing like seeing life outside on a rather blustery day and hearing your happy twittering on a day when I woke up feeling kind of down (since Adam&#8217;s away on business). Thanks for keeping me company. You (and the bright sunny &#8212; but frigid &#8212; days we often get here in wintertime) make winter in Vermont tolerable.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. I hope you enjoyed the birdseed I put out on the patio before I left for work. Hope those piggish squirrels didn&#8217;t get it all. I threw some peanuts out there for them too, but you know how <em>they<\/em> are.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>chickadee Originally uploaded by withrow.
