(First things first sometimes; another cold winter day several years ago for the Bird Man of Mill Woods: takin’ care of business; looking out for Nature has long been a priority even in the coldest conditions; though I am no longer able to dress like this to make my morning move for Stumpy the Reigning Squirrel and the ever-hungry birds)
Put out the garbage in time out front and fed the squirrel/birds in back. Then a quick retreat from the cold and pulled up the drawbridge. Still works.
