winter times

happy first of february friends!  although it might not actually look like winter where you are, it's certainly winter here.  no recipes or food talk today for you, but rather here are are few photographs that my dear friend ben took when he was recently up to visit.

we went out on a chickadee feeding mission.  and although there is no evidence of their little feet landing on our hands, a few of them did make that leap of faith, gripping onto my cold fingers to pause and meet my eyes before picking the best seed up for offer and flying away. 

i think another chickadee hike is in order soon.
