I think it has been more than three weeks since we had a day without rain. So dark, miserable and cold, I am still living in turtlenecks and polar fleece. Always cold. I have been cold for eight months. At least I am not these poor souls working outside in the rain.
Even a white kitchen can not fight the doom and gloom that lives in Nova Scotia. The robin keeps coming back every day, attacking my kitchen window. I put up a dreamboard with Reg's face on it, hoping that would help. It only made it worse. I took it down.
The robin is starting to freak me out. I think this miserable spring has driven it mad. I am now thinking of the poor little guy as Zombie Robin. I can hear him upstairs bouncing against our kitchen window as I write this.
Some people can be cheerful under any circumstances. I have come to make peace with the fact that I am not one of these people. I survived my fourth crippling winter here only to be halfway through May still chilled to the bone. I know life could be worse but when you live with chronic pain, a little relief would go a long, long way.

Zombie Robin is one weird little bird. But at least it sounds like the woodpecker has moved on?
From what I read online, the little robin is being territorial and is "in mortal combat with it's own reflection." Silly bird! Rather than deterring from the inside perhaps putting something on the outside window ledge to block his reflection will help him to move on.
Sorry to hear it's been yucky in the east, I'm going to huff and puff and blow some sunshine your way as hard as I can.
I think I am going to call him Mini Rob Zombie now, LOL. The woodpecker came back on Monday but I scared him away Debra. I'm such a meanie!
Ava, silly bird indeed! With the rain we're having, the windows are perfect reflectors. I tried putting other stuff in the window but you can't see it at all. I appreciate the attempt to bring sunshine our way!
I can relate--we haven't had a sunny dry day in weeks! It's making me super tired. I've got candles going all over the house right now. :)
I can relate, though the past couple of days here have been nice. Chronic Pain is a bitch--I know all too well. Thinking of you and sending you some healing energy. Be well~~
Hi Suzie, I just found your blog and plan to return again, I'm with you on the cold dark world, but ya there is worse.
We have been fighting the same loom and gloom over here, it wouldn't be so bad if the rain held off, pain and rain go together for me.
I have a finch that does the same as your robin, she flies into the window non stop daily, she was here last year and has returned to do the same. I wonder sometimes if she eats at all.
