for the birds ~

 it began quietly...
tiny flakes fell randomly from the grey sky.

we should have known ~ the birds were telling us, but we weren't listening.

 





 






getting ready for the snow...
 
 




here it comes !





Iggy is always watching...










little sparrow




snow bunting



where'd ya go?







intense bird-watching





our back yard feeder
 
 








dove hunkered down under our cedar bushes




 
we got about 6-8 inches of fluffy, cotton-like snow in total....
 






 
 


 
I actually started this post yesterday, 3/25 ~ our power went out in mid-blogging.
it is now 3/36, 8:30 am...
our power just came back on!

we spent our evening with our candles flickering and flashlights...
it was nice at first, but...enough is enough!

the snow is almost all melted now (and I say YAY!!!)
so we have a mud-mess in the farmyard ~
but that's ok...I'll take mud anyday over snow & no electricity!
I wanted to also say that the shipment of tin sewing tray bases arrived yesterday
(yes, our UPS driver is da bomb!)
and I will be feverishly packing all of your orders today to get them out for you...
thanks for your patence with that, I should have had more on stock.
my mistake & I do apologize ~

So, today after packing orders, I will head to my hooking chair ~
and watch the birds out the window with my friend.


keep watching, Ig ~

Your pictures are so pretty, but enough of Winter already !!!! Come on Spring !!!! It's almost Easter !!!

Penny said...

The storm passed us by this time, thank goodness! But it sure does look pretty in your pics, and as long as it doesn't stay on the ground for long, I guess it is tolerable. But we need sun and warmth, right?! C'mon spring!!!

Watching birds in the snow is amazing...watching the kitty watch is sweet.

Love your Blog,

Look at those beauties at your feeders and around the farmyard ! I too, just like Iggy, enjoy birdwatching...Maybe not with the same intentions...lol
So...you got a TASTE of what we here in NW Pa. have had all winter...lol...I love snow, but I can't wait to wake up and see that different type of light shining through our bedroom curtains...the kind of light that reflects differently when there is no white stuff on the ground.....dreaming....lol
glad the no electricity ordeal wasn't too long..

It WAS a good day for birdwatching. I count birds for a Cornell Univ. project and I had 23 different kinds on Sun/Mon. Glad you have your power back!
