There is not much to report on other than more rain... Took my knitting with me today since I haven't gotten to the store to get the right bird seed yet... I promise my friends I am going.
Wet Web
The rivers and the creeks are up.
The precipitation seems about as relentless as my cough.
The woods are quiet - not even squirrels or chipmunks are out.
A few days ago I googled where birds go when it rains... I had my suspicions but wanted to confirm. Like us, they try to stay dry and warm, and like us, they reach a point where they just have to get out to survive. Guess I'm going to have to get out and get bird seed they like if I want my friends to come back - if the sun ever shines again. (I am probably one of the few people still not minding the rain - please don't hate on me)
A cool fact I didn't know is that birds have an oil on their feathers - it's not even enough to be a drop. It repels water so their down doesn't get wet. Birds are so cool.

Today we were spared the rain but it is still might wet out there
Wrong Seed
I brought home the wrong kind of seed because the store didn't have what I usually buy. I thought for sure my bird and animal friends wouldn't mind - it's something new right?... Something is better than nothing?... 4 days later and it is still untouched.
Lesson sufficiently learned.
