Day 53 - 22nd February 2015 - Snow, Bling and Blue Jays

Up too early this morning, temperature is +3 and raining. Hard to believe that last Sunday this time we were in the midst of a blizzard. Oh how fickle is our weather. It's our turn to work the monthly breakfast at the Fire Hall. We'll be out the door early to finish setting up and so Larry can start cooking the bacon and sausage. I'm glad we only have to take a turn once every 3 months.  It's a good fundraiser, but I wouldn't want to do it every month, especially when summer arrives.
Saturday was a nice change once it warmed up from -20 to -2. We headed off on a quick trip to Yarmouth. Was nice to escape if only for a few hours. Think I was starting to go "shack wacky".  Would love to have done some birding, but no time, Sooner or later the weather will break and we'll get out somewhere and spend a day. Larry wanted to get home - put some wood in and do some more roof clearing. So we buzzed around and were back home by 2 pm. Just going to keep my fingers crossed that all the snow around the house doesn't melt and run to the basement. Our house is too big to dig a trench in the snow around it especially as deep as it is.

The sun lazily rose and lit bits and pieces through the woods.

A little Bling through the fence.

Larry's nemesis waits in the Honeysuckle Bush for a chance to jump in a feeder.












It's kind of cool to watch them shell seeds.

There were lots of Blue Jays yesterday. I'm sure they had cleaned the feeders while we were gone.






Enjoy your day!
