Snow Day!

Is there anything as great as a snow day?! The world seems to come to a stop. Well maybe not a full stop. It does seem to slow down a bit though. A snow day is a day of my own and always will be. Cancel everything.
 Bundle up. Step outside to take a peak at mother nature camera in hand, Whiskey the dog trailing ahead!
 Pretty lanterns.


 Open winter field...
 Chickadee-dee-dee!
 Tiny bird prints...
 Memory of Cooper,

 Summer garden tools,
 Home at Whispering Pines laden with snow.

Snow on ground. Falling snow. Under the pines, I find tiny chickadees sheltered. One of them is looking at me as if to say: "oh it's you, hi!". Cows huddled for warmth in the farmer's field. 
Bbrrrrr. Time to go in.
Light a fire. Boil the kettle. Have a bite and a hot cuppa.
Bird watch: chickadees feeding on suet and mixed feeds; harries, downies, white breasted nuthatchers, mr and mrs cardinal, finches, blue jays, mourning doves. They are so busy.
Happy Snow Day!
