Snow Blizzard

The snow is swirling around our

home as we experience the blizzard

today.

Josie May is curious as she gazes from

a window…

We are feeding the birds but the ground feeders are

having difficulty as the birdseeds disappear into the 

deep and drifting snow.

I put some bird seed on a piece of cardboard and that 

seems to help a little.

PS.

Now it is evening and the wind still swirls and gusts

and snow is in the air.

We have a tremendous amount of shoveling to do

tomorrow.

Winter's Thermometer

Every morning we check the temperature outside
by opening the shade and looking at the rhododendrum.
This morning we are having a blizzard and the rhododendrum
leaves are curled up quite tightly which means it's very cold!
The tighter they are curled the colder it is, so when the
leaves are flat we know we are having a heat wave, not the
case today. Brrrrrr...

The trees are full of birds, waiting their
turn at the birdfeeders. The fine snow
is blowing sideways.

A nuthatch braved the storm...
