It't turned colder, temperature is -14 this morning, but will warm up over the day and evening. Suppose to be a nice day, then snow this evening followed by too much rain. The big "Red Warning" Bar is up on the weather sites for rain, flooding, etc tomorrow. I'm hoping to get to Yarmouth today - just one of those very quick trips to do some shopping. There are times you really need to go out of town.
Yet another day of "flurries" or as we like to call it in the country - a blizzard with without conditions bringing 6 inches or so of additional snow. There were a few times that the sun broke out and blue skies, but they were very few and far between. I made the journey out early to the feeders in pj's and winter garb and wasn't long going up up to my thighs in places. No short jokes...please! The birds were grateful and rewarded me with lots of visits throughout the day. Did some housework and another chapter in the manuscript. Tried to come up with something creative for supper with leftover pork roast so I tossed together a fruit salsa, warmed the meat with the salsa and served it over brown rice. Pretty tasty.
Lexi likes to guard the feeder for the small birds from the squirrels.
The Blue Jays were pretty wind blown, but add some bright color to the otherwise white landscape.
Pine Siskin and Redpoll - they were pretty faithful most of the day.
Pine Siskin.
This Redpoll seemed to be pretty pleased with himself.
Playing with photoshop and icicles.
There are times I wish I had a wide angle lens when they all arrive.
More Redpolls.
The advantage of sitting in the kitchen window - I can get so close!
Enjoy your day!
