Day 26 - 26th January 2015 - Redpoll, Goldfinches, Ice and Bubbles

It's a chilly morning, temperature is -9. Looks like we are in for a nor'easter beginning sometime tonight. I'm heading into town this morning to get my normal "Wednesday" errands, volunteer work etc. done. Don't think I want to take a chance with the rest of the week. Looks like it might be a week of mostly snow and probably rain afterwards - but who knows. The stars are all out and you could hear the lake talking last night - moaning and groaning; echoing back and forth.
Had a great day Sunday.  Went out for a quick walk. Made brown bread rolls and pizza, then we had four wonderful women come to supper and we made ice cream. Three of them are like sisters to Larry and the other a second Mother, two of them will celebrate birthdays this week as well. So we had a Birthday celebration for Larry, Cathy and Bonnie - lots of laughs. What man wouldn't want to celebrate his  - - th birthday with only women!
One of the Redpolls in an Apple tree. They were back in the morning but not the afternoon.
This little Goldfinch is so puffed up he looks so big.
After all the rain the temperature dipped a little and pretty ice patterns were made.

There is still lots of nature debris frozen in the lake.
A patch of ice in the woods has a layer of water but was bubbling - wonder what that's all about.
There were lots of Goldfinches around.
