I crumbled up some bread and a stale bagel, and added some rolled oats to it, and tossed some out in the snow for the poor hungry little ones. They have been eating it, so at least they are getting some food. I remember when I was a kid, my mother always took bread that was getting stale and crumbled it for the birds.

I'm glad you're doing the crumbs. I've read that once you start feeding the birds in the winter, you shouldn't stop because they have become dependent on that food. But it gets real hard sometimes.

We have one suet feeder and two hanging tubes. There are 5 - 6 places where I scatter seed on the ground for the ground feeders. When it snows, I'm out there a couple of times a day, brushing the snow from those areas so the birds can get to the seed.

I don't have any seed, but I have some stale bread that I wanted
to throw out for the birds. Trouble is, I have to wait till it stops snowing
or it will just get covered up.

A lady I used to work with sent me a little take off of the Who Dat
song. It's pretty good.

"This is what i wanted to yell at people on the way home this evening.

Snow on da' ground.....snow on da' ground..... Drivin' like a fool wit da' snow on the ground....look at ya now - car spinnin' around.....drivin like a fool wit da' snow on Da ground!!!... Slow it down .... "

We totally missed out the last storm; we're supposed to get some this time.

The snow has started. I timed it perfectly HAHA. I went to the store and to pick up hannah and it started snowing when I was under 2 miles from home. perfect

now they've upgraded us to getting 20 inches possibly more
