What’s Different?

Do you like those picture puzzles where you have to find the 8 teeny, tiny differences between two pictures?  Well, here’s a real easy one.  The first photo was taken out my back window at about 9:00 this morning:

Now, compare, branch for branch, squirrel for squirrel, against this photo taken at 11:00 this morning:

They took my BIRD-WATCHING TREE!!!  Okay, I suppose it was dead, and I’m sure there was a good reason to cut it up into chunks and haul it away, and I suppose the hawk will find another tree to perch while browsing for his lunch . . . but I won’t be able to see him there!  And look at all the houses I can see.  Bummer.  I did love that tree.  It had so much character.

Well, on a brighter note, today is my birthday and I’m meeting friends for lunch!  We postponed our family get-together for another day because of the snow storm that is threatening the Cities as we speak.  Oh, you lucky Midwestern people in Texas, Florida, Arizona.  Enjoy that warm weather while you can!  Winter isn’t over yet.
