I know some of you are having tough weather – and so have we. Winds from the east are always icy and for some weeks now the cold has crept into the very marrow of our bones. Our birds are having a tough time so much feeding is needed – fat and healthy seeds. Some will still not make it even through the night. They have to take even bigger risks now, eating when it is almost dark.

I will soon be on my way to warmer places though – too warm for me I believe, but hopefully there will be much to see and enjoy – and easier to forget the troubles of this world. We are neither getting younger, nor healthier, my husband and I, so we had better make this trip now and stop postponing it. As there will be little possibilities for wifi, I will take a break until I am back home at the end of the month.

I wish you all a smooth February, stay well, take care – and see you again soon!
