Snowy Day

It rained all day yesterday so I didn't go for a walk. It was supposed to be dry today - a little dusting of snow overnight - so I was ready to go for a walk today. Nope. I woke up and there were already a couple of inches outside. Obviously this was one of the 'miss' days for the weather forecast. It didn't stop snowing most of the day! I don't like driving in the snow BUT I have a new-to-me car that has all wheel drive so I thought I'd give it a go and just go down to the park for a walk. I managed to get there and back all right but then I stayed home. No more going out for me! Middle son called and said he was on his way to our place. I wasn't sure he would come because of the snow, but apparently he did only get a dusting where he was! Once he got here he couldn't believe how much we got - I think he thought I was joking!

Because I was indoors I did manage to get my Mum's calendar finished and I made two more gnomes to take with me to daughter - one for her and one for her boyfriend's mum.

I think because of the snow the birds were going crazy out in the garden. We're going to have another cold snap - as I write this it is -7C/19F. Poor daughter is -24C/-11F (and it feels even colder than that!). I'm hoping they warm up a bit by the weekend when we visit. Anyway I'm pretty sure that the birds can tell when bad weather is coming as they tend to stock up. I put out bird seed a couple of times today.

Here's a couple of photos from today out in the garden.



Hopefully the snow has ended for now and maybe I can go out a little longer tomorrow - as long as I have my long undies on!

  3. Lovely to look at but I don't think I would like to live with the temperatures you get with it.
    I don't know what our Winter is going to be like. So far I have not seen any of the 'country coming to a standstill' type forecasts we usually get.
    Keep warm.
    Hugs-x-

    1. That's what my Mum says lol! I hope it's not a bad one. I just want a little sun mixed it with it. Daughter moved where it is colder but they at least have a good dose of sun too!

    1. Thank you! In Michigan we get lots of snow. After Christmas for a while there won't be any grass showing for a long while.

    1. It is cold. Sigh. I could deal with it if we actually got a little sun too!

  6. Love how you capture the personality of all your "models" - the bluejay is especially cute! Some people don't like them because they can be bullies to the other birds. I don't mind them, they are hungry too and I have enough for all the birds.

    1. Absolutely love Blue Jays. They are such funny birds. I have plenty of food around and they like the peanuts I put out more than anything!
