Once again we have more snow, 15 degrees and windy. 🌨️ ☃️
Not a good walking in town day so I was stuck in the basement walking again.
At least I have a place to walk.
A day for washing sheets and getting started on the weekly house cleaning.
We heard a thump and went to see if it was a bird flying into the glass door.
It was. The downy woodpecker stayed there in the snow for a little while and then flew away unhurt. It went back to the feeder. He likes the suet best.
I've been reading The Widow by John Grisham. It is pretty slow moving, not a page turner but still has kept my interest. Will finish it later.
Did some knitting this afternoon too.
Ken went outside to clear the driveway with the tractor again only this time the tractor wouldn't start. Some switch is frozen and needs to thaw out. Since we had no place we had to go so he didn't worry about it today.
This story that our Pastor told us made us laugh.
He knocked on a door in town and when a man answered the door, Pastor introduced himself and invited him to church.
The man responded with,
Oh I've heard of you and your church. You always preach from the Bible and try to get everyone saved.
What the man meant as a criticism Pastor took as a compliment and said, That's true, thank you.
The man closed the door.
Well that's all I have for today.
Hope you had a wonderful day.

Hi Karen, when I first saw the title of this post I read "Trump" instead of "Thump" LOL! Glad I was mistaken! What a lovely bird, dear friend! Yes, I have heard that the birds love suet in the winter! Thank you so much for sharing your posts.
Glad the Downy is okay. I have had several at my feeders lately.
...we went out early this and then the snow started. Time to hunker down. Be warm and well.
I'm glad to hear that the Downy is okay. I bet it made quite the thump when it hit.
I believe we are in for a cold night tonight. Stay warm and safe
Glad the Downy was ok and went back to the feeder. Have a wonderful week.
I'm glad that woodpecker is ok.I hate it when birds fly into windows.
Good story from the Pastor.
The Downy Woodpeckers love my suet feeder, too. Funny story your preacher told. See the glass half full!
Pleased the Downy is okay.
Good story from the Pastor.
All the best Jan
So glad the bird was ok. Great comeback from your pastor. Janice
The pastor was right to take that as a compliment. I want all my friends to be saved so we can meet again in heaven. I put a nonadhesive butterfly decal on my glass door so birds would not hit it; I am happy the bird is ok.
A cute story! It always amazes me how a bird can fly so hard into a window, yet still be able to fly away!!
Poor little woodpecker thought he'd come indoors since it was so cold outside :)
I've had birds fly into my sliding glass door too. It's always a relief when they fly away.
Hello,
I am glad the Downy was ok. Great story from your pastor.
Take care, enjoy your day and have a happy week ahead.
That's a great story and testimony of your church! Love it. We get those thumps! :) Have a good day.
Truth be known, that was a wonderful compliment. I hope that gentleman come to know Christ soon. I saw an ad for the Widow last night and gave some thought about reading it. I hope you'll post more about it when you finish reading it. Hope your staying warm, have a day.
I always feel so terrible when a bird flies onto one of our big windows!
We have stickers on or glass doors to deter the birds flying into them, but we still have the odd one hit them.
