I awoke early and almost made the mistake of getting up but managed to come to my senses and rolled over and went back to sleep. I have this unwritten rule never to get up before 9;00 am unless I have an appointment or something special going on. My onboard clock knows this and most of the time does the right thing but occasionally slips up.

First thing of course, was to take the dogs out walking after a long night of “holding it”. We wandered around and then, when we got back, brought out the bird feeders. I filled one of the tree hanging ones as it was getting low. Gotta be the squirrels as it is too high in the tree for the deer to reach it. Actually, the number of birds that visit has really dropped. My guess is those that fly off every season have already gone and those that are left are the permanent ones. We will keep feeding them every day as I always do. I have made one change to how we feed them and have cut back on the number of seed feeders and gone to the seed cakes kind as they are a bit easier to take care of.

I glanced at the clock and it told me that half the day has already gone as it said that the time was 11:55 am. We have nothing planned for the day and it will comprise of dog walking and a lot of lounging around. What a life…

The day slipped on by and we broke the monotony by going out walking around the park until, eventually, it was time to bring in the feeders as another day came to an end.
