Out of the cold and out of the blue

Lindsay, and a generous gift for M.A.R.S.
Today was grueling,yesterday was equally so and the day before and the day before that. You get the picture. All of the members of M.A.R.S. ARE INSIDE AND OUT OF THE COLD. Right when you think that this cold cold weather can’t continue, it does for one more night. Than an amazing volunteer, Jane comes in, and you just get to it, and do it. Cleaning and feeding and providing lots of boxes and things for all of the birds to keep busy and happy so there is quiet time. Extra treats provided like dried fruit and cheese cubes, again you get the picture right?
Well after all the work is done, it suffices to say that Jane and I are simply relieved to be finished, another day ended, the members of M.A.R.S. happy and content. Not so for their human caretakers, we’re spent. We also know that tomorrow it all starts all over again.
Than out of the blue, two people are at the door, Lindsay and her Mom. In their hands a card and an envelope containing donations that a group of Christmas caroling children collected for the members of M.A.R.S. This is what sets some days apart from all the others, and this is what makes it all so amazing. Thank-you to Lindsay, Linden (another great volunteer), Rue, Rowen, and Alyssa. We so appreciate your donation.
