lots of snow... and birdies

 We did get quite a lot of snow. When I woke at 5 am ( Thursday) for a potty break there wasn't any but by 8 am we had about three inches. When it finally stopped sometime in the afternoon we had 6 - 7 inches!!

It seems like all the schools and lots of offices went virtual. Our daughter's parent /teachers conferences did! And the parents seemed delighted!!

Bob made sure the birds had lots of food... going out onto the deck several times to replenish things. We had a "flock" of juncoes... coming in groups of 8 to 10 at a time


Dark-eyed Junco Overview, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology Boy did they eat!!  We had blue jays and sparrows as well.... and squirrels galore!! Tigger, the orange tripper cat, loved watched them all through the kitchen windows.

This morning was sunny and I opened the curtains to take a look from our "office" window... lots of fresh untouched (?) snow plus  bunny and squirrel tracks!  The snowplow did "do" our cul de sac.... the middle section only, leaving a big untouched swath in front of our driveway and the mailbox. Bob has cleared a path to get the paper but since we aren't planning to go out, that's it!!
