Our thermostat picked today to break! Cheaper to replace than the boiler, at least. Would’ve been cheaper still if I’d done it myself, but I thought it was the boiler. Also, realistically speaking, that wasn’t gonna happen. The Home Depot is, like, way out there. I wasn’t gonna schlep there and back, not in this snow.

Speaking of snow, you’d think it’d be easier to tell the birds apart in the snow, but not so! The snowglare doesn’t help! And we had so many birds today, including our mockingbird! And some birds have finally figured out the upside down suet feeder!

Glad it wasn't the boiler.

Yay!

I have an upside-down feeder too. I hang it sideways until they figure out that it's there. Then I shift it to an angle. Once the birds are used to that, I turn it all the way upside-down. The woodpeckers and other clinging birds can eat from it easily, but few sparrows can figure out how to do it.

Mine actually has a little hole in the roof corner that I can put a hook through.
