so its the first snow for the season and i tell you its 40cm deep and still snowing.early this morning i awoke to this grand stillness as if nothing else existed with a small bright light,reflection of the brillant white snow.standing staring out the window,half naked and looking at this wonderful sight each and every surface covered with some degree of snow leaving no place for the little birds to pearch.
small footprints could be seen on the terrace leading from the outer to the covered section and making me wonder who or what had been running for cover.they were so tiny,on inspection,and made me wonder whether the fairies had come out to play as in certain sections there was a sparkle in the snow as if someone had sprinkled glitter as they went.....but no..i now know that it was the fairies as this must have been the miniscule snowballs that they were throwing aroung having fun.
i then realised that i had not heard the cheerful chirp of the birds and went looking for seed only to realise that i had not prepared a bird feeder.immediately there was a flash as i had just purchased a FAT LAVA birdfeeder...
this one has a pumice glaze and is well manufactured with no name or number but i guess a rare piece from the 60/70s. that it was never used as its so clean and the sisal rope has no dirt or wear.like most of us we buy something and then it goes into the cupboard left and forgotten.
so now i have the opportunity to hang this one up and use it and the birds are now so fashionable with eating out of a fat lava feeder...now all i need to find is a dish of some sorts for my pussy.
