We have been eating non-stop...so that if we can't get to town , we can live off our fat , or maybe eat our young..mr C better get some meat on those bones..haha
So now for the stupid pecker....we will call him Woody... this is not his real name , we are trying to protect his identity. Woody has been flying around the yard like a crazy man. He has become delusional, he is pecking all the trees, the cloth line wheels, you name it woody pecks it.
I caught this shot of him at the suet feeder (reminder to adjust CWB on camera, trees should not be blue).
Then woody the crazy pecker, decides to let us know it's cold outside and the suet is frozen. If we don't do something about it, he will be forced to break in an steal from the fridge. This is woody pecking on our bedroom window... In an effort to keep woody from wrecking the screens more, we went to Safeway and bought him beef fat... and guess what? We haven't seen him today....Stupid Pecker 
Now for the frozen termites...Not really, but it looks like a termite hill...not that I have ever seen one (except on Discovery channel). This is the ice column created from the exhaust of the heater outside the garage. The steam forms water drops (how scientific is that ?) and in these cold temps , it creates this ugly yellow THING. Looks like it has warts.
And a close up...I am easily amused lately..I think I'm sick of watching TV

You crack me up-we too have had that mind numbing cold-I think there was a different meaning to that years ago but we have watched every christmas movie and then some-we are numb from that...keep the faith-now we have a blizzard starting tonight-perhaps it'll warm up so we can get out!
Shannon... your humor never fails to make me smile!
Love your woodpecker! They are pretty rare here. I hope he came back for the suet!
Congrats on your winning photo! LOVE that one... and many more!
Ok, up close the ice column looks like a candle, complete with drippings. Think of it as vanilla scented. That's a pileated woodpecker, by the way. They are usually pretty shy, so this one is definitely acting out of character!
