Snow Daze!

On the 4th of February we had a snowfall of about a half inch. While this is probably not a big deal if you live in Boston, where you measure snowfall in feet, any snow here is neat. Above is the house on a very cold and wintery looking day.




Bandit kept demanding that we let him out as we do in the afternoons on sunny days. Hah! Here he is saying, "Where did all this cold white stuff come from and why are my toes freezing to the ground?" He howled a bit more and then made a bee-line for the door and warmth.

The normal crowd at the backyard feeder including finches, bluejays, cardinals, and sparrows ... and our special friend ...

... a little Downy Woodpecker hammering away on his snow capped block.
