Happy New Year!

It's very cold here today, but we're surviving and enjoying the bright sunshine. At the moment, it's about -18C. I was outside earlier tidying up around the compost bin (I think the deer are visiting it at night, and they've scattered some of the vegetable scraps) and also replenishing the bird feeders. Just as I was about to leave and go into the house, another woodpecker arrived on the scene. There was a noisy commotion as one chased the other from tree to tree until he had had enough and flew to a poplar on the other side of the driveway.
