Like November
For days now the weather has seemed like November, --overcast and gloomy. This morning it was bright and sunny, --for a few minutes. OK, it was actually sunny for a few hours but the time went fast.
I went into the living room to play the piano and I could see the music just fine without a light on. But I was interrupted several times and by the last time I got to sit down at the piano, it was dark and gloomy and the light was very dim, --and it's still supposed to be broad daylight. We haven't had a lot of broad daylight recently.
The birds and the grinnies have finished off another bird bell. It's so cute to watch the grinny when there's just a little left on the birdbell. He jumps onto it from the top of the arbor and the bell starts swinging back and forth wildly. The grinny grabs hold for dear life and sometimes he rides it out but often he either gets dumped or he just gives up and flops to the ground. This morning I saw a grinny drop off the bird bell in what I thought was a rather hard fall for him. Several seconds later, he ran to the basket I have out by the arbor. He climbed up on it and then sat there working on a chunk of the seeds from the bird bell that he'd been able to chomp off the bell before he fell or jumped. He was OK.
I think the bird bell can be a critter amusement ride, with restaurant too! The birds have a little trouble with the bird bell when it's almost all used up. It swings back and forth with their movements to peck at seeds, but they don't set it in motion as much as the chipmunk does.
