Day 58 - 27th February 2015 - Redpolls, Chickadee and Grandmother's Journal

Friday - the week has flown by, temperature is -10. No stars out this morning. Am feeling a bit better, think I'm moving to  the other side of this cold. Fingers crossed. Maybe I'll accomplish a bit more today. I've not gotten done what I wanted to this week, that's for sure.
It was a beautiful sunrise, Thursday morning - then the day remained kind of dull and grey looking, with a temperature steadily at -7. Some snow flurries late in the afternoon - like we really need more of that! Lexi and I didn't hang around outside long - our walks were as quick as we could get along the side of the road with the shoulders coated in ice. Some spots weren't too bad and she's enjoying walking along the top of the snow banks now that they are crusted. Other than that it was mostly a wasted day spend on the sofa trying to sleep my way through this cold.

29 February 1976 - Beautiful early morning, colder. Came in cloudy, windy in late afternoon. Showers in the evening, windy. Bob, Bobbie, Mike & Tom to snares. Kim gone back home. Anne sick with flu, sore throat etc. Drug from Dr. Very mild month with little snow. The winter is gone.  I started some crochet grannie patch or squares for pillow covers. 

There was lots of activity at the feeders.

The big flock of  Redpolls, Pine Siskins and Goldfinches come several times a day and spend an hour or so.

The Chickadees are there all day.

There area  couple of stray Redpolls that are here most of the day as well.

Enjoy your day!
