It has been an interesting couple of days here at soapHOUSE. Two days ago, we had the largest flock of black birds I have ever seen in my neighborhood. There must have been 500 of them - I am not exaggerating! They would all fly together and land together. At one point they were all in our backyard:

 
I know its hard to see - these pictures were taken on my phone...but, see that "shadow" behind the azaleas? Thats not a shadow - those are birds!!!

They must have known that we were about to have snow!

Boy, did they have the right Now I know to some of you - this is laughable - especially when you may be covered with a foot or more, but in my neck of this woods, this is a BIG deal and the city pretty much shuts down. After all - it is a windchill factor of 2 degrees - BURRRRRRRRRR

tay warm!
