It’s Thanksgiving Day in the U.S.
Even the sparrows are enjoying a thanksgiving meal.
I am thankful for many things, including all of you who stop here to visit me.
I am thankful everyday. Thank you.

As I took a photo of this sparrow, he turned around and stuck his tongue out at me. I guess he doesn’t like his photo taken.

Oh! By the way, in the comments section last Sunday, Sharon of Sweet Repose wondered where all the snow was in the city. None of my photos showed any snow. Ha! Well, last week, we’d had a little bit of snow but luckily, it did not stick. For this weekend, the weather forecasters said we’d have a lot of snow by Saturday. All day Friday, they cried out that a big snow storm was coming. Saturday morning, when I took my dog out for her walk, there was hardly any snow — just a light sugar sprinkling of snow in sight. It melted very quickly. Yay! I’m very a happy person.

I normally don’t notice the birds in the trees, unless I hear them chirping. Then I look closely into the trees and see them. They sit on the branches and watch pedestrians pass by, and I imagine they wait and watch for someone to drop some food on the ground, among other things.
Now that it’s winter and the branches are bare, it is a little easier to spot the birds. The interesting thing to me is the way they are able blend into the trees, even when there are no leaves. This sparrow sat very still on her branch. We eyed each other for a while before she decided to fly away. I love the city’s sparrows. They’re so… cute.
