Sunny Thursday!

But snowy Wednesday...........

 I was really looking forward to this winter storm and it did not disappoint!  It rained in the morning and then turned to sleet which is this picture

but then it turned to snow and you couldn't see across the yard!

Big fat flakes the size of a quarter or more.........it snowed all afternoon and was still snowing when I went to bed.............
This was Nitty when it first started.......she loves the snow as much as I do...........

Shake it off!

it snowed............

and snowed........

and snowed..........I was in 7th heaven.............

and then this morning I woke up to this beautiful scene and the sky so blue and the sun shining so brightly......what gifts!

the only tracks were those made by the deer in the upper middle of the picture below.....can you see them?  They cross the street there to go to the lake right beyond those trees.

The birds uncovered the seed I had placed out there the night before.  I feed them every day between about 3 and 4 in the afternoon so they can go to sleep with food in their tummies to keep them warm through the cold nights.  There's plenty of water all around as the lake doesn't freeze and there is a natural spring too that feeds into the lake that doesn't freeze.  All within walking flying distance.  And of course now, there's the snow!

I'm enjoying the snow and the girls and I went out and did some "tracking"....you can see tracks so easily in the snow if  the girls don't run ahead of me and obliterate them! LOL!  I found out there's a "critter" living in one of the crawl spaces under the house as you could see the tracks leading away from the door.  Hmmm....I'll have to tell my Terminex guy as there is wiring, cables and pipes in there.  I wonder if that's why my cable in the family room doesn't work for my dish?
I hope you stayed warm, happy and well fed today!  Happy Trails!
