Day 19 - 19th January 2013 - Visitors at the Feeder, The Lake and Sky

Another nippy morning, temperature is -11.2. It's suppose to warm up to +4 today, that will be welcoming, then in comes some rain this evening - Blah! Not sure what we have planned for today other than I know it's grocery day. Would like to go to Lockeport and see if the Snow Geese are still around - they've had a pair there for a while now and they'd be kind of cool to see. Larry has an evening out with the guys so he'll be leaving around supper time, so we'll be pressed for time if we do that today. Maybe we'll just see where the day takes us. That could be fun too and there is always tomorrow if the weather is fit. I'm sure he will want to put wood in sometime over the weekend.
Brrr... it was cold yesterday. The temperature never got up past -8 all day. Lexi and I got some good tramps through the woods though, dressed in our new cap and mittens from Christmas I was warm, especially with wool socks hand knit by my Mom.  Karen stopped for a warm up on her way back up the hill in the morning as she was out for her walk. Nice to have a visitor and a chat over tea and hot chocolate. Spent sometime trying to do research on photographers during the 19th/20th century but some how or another I went from photographers to care/handling of old photos [I can understand that one] but then I ended up in Nippon china - of which I have a few pieces. Not exactly what you would call a natural progression, but that's usually how my internet research goes.
 He was playing peek-a-boo over the roof of the feeder.
 Resting on the fence during the snow. They were pretty hungry in that cold weather.
 The sky began to open up with blue patches.
 These boats are in for the winter.
Cozy? Probably not for a few more months.




















 Nice when everyone is getting a long and can share of feeder - Red Poll and Goldfinches.
A new visitor today - White throated Sparrow.













Time for another coffee. Enjoy your day!
