The Grocery Store

This is the picture looking out of my bedroom window before the snowstorm.

The tree is a crab apple tree.  In the spring when the flowers on the tree are blossoming it is just magnificent. Now we only have shriveled-up crab apples.

However, there is a squirrel and a robin eating the apples. One day soon the rest of the birds and squirrels will discover the crab apples, and they will vanish in an instant.

That’s why I call it The Grocery Store. It is a place where they can come and get their food.

I wonder if the robin will stay all winter.  I was told by a bird guide from the Audubon Society that many robins stay year-round and feed off the berries. Hopefully my crab apple tree will help them stay.

Here is a picture of too many Canadian Geese.  I wish they would fly south and leave us alone for a couple of months.
