A good bit of sun helped, but temps still well below freezing.

This is the latest in bird treats—iced suet

Speaking of chipping out reminds me of the old tale of how the Chippewa First People got their name: living in the north as they did, they were frequently faced with ice storms and had to constantly Chippewa. (NB, I can also tell you exactly how Crawling Stone Lake up in northern Wisconsin got its name.) (But don’t get me started or I will be likely to pose you the riddle about the Big Indian and the Little Indian.)

In other news, I pretty much finished building the website for the Arboretum At Starin Park. Still a few areas to fill out, and proofreading still needed, but close to workable. You can see it here: The Arboretum At Starin Park.
