Bright and cold

I was running around most of the day.  The tux cat made itself at home in the back so the birds stayed away.  I went out front where I could hear a blue jay but I never saw it.  There were birds in the cedar.  I glimpsed one I thought was a bluebird but I "pish, pished" to no avail.  The jessamine made a flower.  A freeze was forecast so we brought in the peppers.
