Prechristmas (Advent?) is quiet. The weather, a mixture of snow and freeing rain, has been keeping many people at home. 

To keep the hummingbird feeder from freezing, I've been brining in at night. The birds are grateful when I return it in the morning. 

Wednesday and Thursday I did go to work. My VP had some use-it-or-lose-it money that he needed to spend before the end of year, so we had an impromptu holiday get-together at work.
