What I have to 'up with put' first thing in the morning this time of year. Foggy windows from the steam off the coffee cup and harsh, glaring light reflected off dirty windows. Noisy birds. Deer cluttering up the pasture. Life's a bitch, eh?

From another thread but . . . notice the reflected blue cast on the white window sill despite the 'golden' light of sunrise . . . and not a snow flake in sight either! Now it's showin' up everywhere -- it's takin' over the world and all because you asked.  Wink

And on top of all that, poor Hank's wife is an excellent cook.

What? That "fish-net" stocking? It's the best way to attract that female gold finch you asked about.

I get 'em used from Ron. He's got real class; only wears 'em once an' then throws 'em away.

Dave, I believe you're correct. Thanks, I wasn't payin' proper attention. The black feet are the giveaway. 

And, yep, that's a mis-labeled House Wren. Fairly recent and still generally uncommon in western TN.
