bright sunset, cold night

We saw a wren at my little orange feeder! I checked it afterward to make sure it hasn't covered up again with ice. Now we know they found it.

Hard are the nights now
The fields at moonrise turn to agate
Shadows are cold as jet

- from The Christmas Tree by Cecil Day-Lewis

    1. Thank you, Clare. I'm very relieved, and we don't see wrens that much in winter, either. My brother always bought plain sunflower seeds for a feeder we had on a pole, but he decided not to set it up this season because Mr. Kibble was near by. Now the ground is too hard to stick the pole in. I saw this idea in (British) Country Living, although they used lard.
