Early yesterday morning Azrael was on the prowl. By the looks of her, she has been under a pine tree, with snow on her head. Later after she left, the Blue Jays came out, and raided the suet.
I also had some peanuts for them, but I have to tell you what happened to the peanuts! The bag was on the dining room table and we had to leave for a while. During that time Tauqua our rescue dog got up on his hind legs and took the bag off the table and onto the floor. When we got home you wouldn't believe it. There were peanuts and shells all over the dining room floor! I smelled his breath, and he tried to blame the cat, but we know his tricks and lies, plus the cat was outside! LOL What a mess, and I didn't take a picture. I didn't think about it till it was cleaned up.

A Tree sparrow pecks at some seed on the ground.

Even the Juncos who are usual ground feeders, stop by for some peanut butter.

The sky cleared up around 3:00 and I couldn't believe how warm the sun was. The snow piles around the house are mounting. My greenhouse is on the far end( right) where you see a door. It used to be a front porch. We enclosed it with polycarbonate, and it makes the perfect place to raise Orchids. There is direct sun only for about 3-4 hours a day, and then that big Maple tree in the front yard lets in bright light, but no heat. A door opens into our living room, and this is also how we heat it during cold weather. Works perfect.

A very large flock of Canada geese flew over. I counted 71. Not easy to do. They were WAY up there.

This is what the area looked like on Saturday afternoon during that snow storm. This is a old farm house about a mile from us. The flakes were micro flakes, and made the air look foggy, but it was really snow. The visibility was horrible for a while.

Really cold air coming down from Canada by Tuesday. Time to get out the long johns! LOL
