2/19/09 - There's something very comforting about opening up the back door first thing in the morning and seeing all my babies. Especially when the night has been particularly cold - like last night - I always look forward to seeing them in the morning, as it gives me the assurance that they somehow huddled together and kept each other warm. And they too have equal assurance that food is coming, along with a fresh bowl of warm water to replace the water that had frozen over night. They'll enjoy today's sunshine.
