Drip drip drip

Warmer this morning, maybe 45F, but the prospect remains dismal.  I believe that the meteorologist's technical term for this would be "Chinese water torture."

Outlook not improved by waking up at 3:30 or thereabouts and not getting back to sleep.

Dry pavement. With added chickadees.

Not actually raining, so I hied myself hence for a walk.  Cabin fever isn't supposed to last this long.

Wife and I saw a couple of chickadee visits into the hole this morning.  I _think_ one bird stays in there most of the time, incubating, and the other brings a hulled sunflower seed now and then.
