Bought another 80 pounds today at Farm & Fleet. But 80 pounds is less than 100 pounds, which is what would have been needed (or more) if not for the new, high-efficiency, rapaciousness-resisting feeder.

Besides stoking the feeder I managed to finish framing Elaine’s watercolor of Heliotrope.

Dust of Snow
—Robert Frost

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
