Midst February in northern Germany.
The birds have ceased singing, even the worms are craving a shelter.
Stalaktites are hanging their icy head down , as if to thank those freezing temperatures for keeping them alive.
They seem grotesque in their mis-shapen watery non-form.
A quietness of cold tempratures is blanketing the surroundings, leaving all mamals and non mammals tucked safely in their homes or at any warmth giving point.
We, the inteligent species, as we so proudly call ourselves, are left to care for nature and its inhibitants.
3 squirrles have made our trees their definite home, and now each morning I practice to throw 3 wall-nuts at the now frozen snow , and try to get them as close as possible to each other.
To my demise , I discover often, that indeed there was a good reason, why I didnt have a career as a basketball player as the distances between those nuts are to big for comfort.., but suffice it to say that the squirrles ralish those nuts and consume them in a speed worthy of noting.
Also , those poor birds , whose wings are heavy from snow, whose beaks might be used as a can-opener, and whose feathers are cold and britle, yes, those birds need some nourishment too, and so you see many people hanging heavy bags of birds seeds on their trees.
Also, another "blessing" of those bone breaking temperatures, is the frozen car wibdows, that need to be de-iced, so as to give driving a chance.
And so rolls the winter on

Three squirrels? I thought it's only Shlomo and Shlomit. I didn't know You're throwing nuts every morning. Do they eat them?
