    We have more snow than we have had in several years so things have slowed down (no work or school) and it has been time to feed the birds.

    Apples left on the trees have drawn the robins.

    The 14 inches of snow will be soon gone, probably by the week-end. It never stays very long, but it is pretty today.

    We've had hardly any snow so far this winter but we have had severe frosts. Your birds seem to be enjoying the food you put out for them as much as mine do. The last picture of your home is really beautiful.

    Poor cold little birdies.
    I agree with Eileen... your snow cover home makes a beautiful photo.

    Now let's see. If we opened that cute little door for a long while could we melt all that white stuff and make it become Spring?

    I'm sure the birds along with the rest of us have had enough snow for this season. It's time to warm up to spring and watch the seedlings grow.
