It's a Snowy, Snowy Day!

Today we had to be out the door by 7:15am.  The truck had a maintenance appointment.  However we awoke to a white world.  Being from the true north we were undaunted and set out.  Well we made it about half way up the highway.  It was dark, very snowy and slippery.  The roads were not plowed, salted or sanded.  Very scary.  We decided not to go any further and rebooked for next week.

Safely back at home, we fed the birds and sat back to watch the show at the feeders.  Very entertaining

Our snowy weather might last for a couple of days before the rain returns.  Life is good as I sit here enjoying the birds and watching the world pass by.  Two freighters have sailed past in the last 10 minutes.  I don't usually sit with my chair facing out the back window.  It's very interesting.

Orange bird is a varied thrush - I think

The whole clan

What kind of bird is this?

It's a flicker.  How beautiful.
Until next time, we'll enjoy our little taste of winter.  I'm going to go bake some apple crisp.  Cold weather always makes me want to bake.
