Temperature is -12, little warmer than yesterday. It's suppose to be milder today with snow and rain - sounds kind of messy to me. Maybe if we get some rain we'll lose another little layer of snow. Although I'm not thrilled with the ice that appears once the temperatures drop again. No wind or stars this morning and a little snow has come down during the night, but not a noticeable amount. I'm up way too early of course, and it's my day in town - going to be a long one!
Nothing like a sunny day to perk a person up. The only thing that could make it better is if the snow were all gone and crocus' were popping through the ground, but I suppose that will happen soon. The temperature did rise to -7, but the wind held a chill. I spent a good portion of the day in the kitchen. Made a chicken and orzo soup with lentils and lots of veggies, some apple and cheddar muffins and an Italian sausage and rice casserole that I took to the potluck supper. Not a big gathering last night, but we had a great time - lots of good food, chatter and laughs. Nice to get out.
So many of these guys around.
A few icicles, but not like they were the last few weeks.
I always scatter some seeds on the ground when it's fine so they aren't crowding in the feeders.
The Goldfinches are getting more yellow - could spring be just around the corner.
The Junco has gotten tamer, he comes up on the fence now instead of hanging at the feeders down below.
Lots of places to perch.
Including the fence it's self.
Enjoy your day!
