When we turned 12 my dad taught us to sew, wash clothes, iron, clean his way, and cook. He said we were old enough to help out and if we knew this we wouldn't have to count on anyone else to do it.

And he knew what he was talking about

Yup. Teaching independence, and team work. Something you learn and no one can ever take away from you.

I would be worried they froze after coming out of it

We have one too. It runs on a solar panels it’s not on a pedestal but we put one out in the winter near our bird feeders.

Care to weigh in, @Wonderer67 ?

We had chores but mom always went behind us. She was a perfectionist

We're related?

The neighborhood where I grew up, most kids' families had cleaning people where ours had chores

A “cleaning person” was another word for kids and parents who vacuumed their own homes, cleaned their own shit, washed their own dishes (by hand of course!), mopped their own floors, etc.

Having a “staff” was for the well to do.

Had some of that too!!

My dad had a good eye for “the best and most efficient way to do things.” my way was not typically up to snuff!

Important life and survival skills!

Also recall having to do my own wash too. I am glad we took the same approach w my daughter. She didn’t love us for it, but I think it was healthy for her.

Sounds good. Make sure you get rest.

Yes, Mom….

Im prolly talking out of turn, but the birds legs don’t seem to care how cold it is. They grab onto metal whe it’s freezing cold. They need some water so they stand and get water. The come doesn’t seen to affect them much.

This doesn’t make sense but basically, the birds dont seem to care how cold it is.

Very few make it this far south. I have seen two in my many years here. I did try to get pictures but it's a circular blur.

We have resident Anna's here year round. People have posted on NextDoor how to keep the feeders from freezing in the winter.

Beetus. Sucks. Ass.

It got pretty bad last night. I'm recovering. Thankful for the chance to adjust insulin. Thankful I can still get insulin.

I'm so sorry! Are you recovered now?
