My
friends up north are digging out. We had freezing rain over the past few days, not too much! Lots of accidents, but nothing like
Ice Storm '98, read more here:
Ice Storm '98, praise be. This morning there was a bit of snow remaining from overnight.

This is when I went outside to snap some shots. I love the vista, with big puffy clouds, blue skies, lunatic cat running after blowing leaves.
By the time I fed the birds, the clouds rolled in again, and my backyard disappeared!

Undaunted, I love the snow. The dreary colours of November (brown grasses, dead brown leaves) replaced by the crisp white are a welcome change.
The raven sits under the bird feeder, getting bombed with cracked corn by blue jays looking for the good stuff. The cracked corn is for the mourning doves, who seem to like it. They are ground feeders, and appreciate the seed even if the greedy blue jays do not.
It seems that the ravens enjoy the deer feed, too.
JB says the smell of it reminds him of feeding the draft horses on
his family farm. Fond memories without electricity and running water in Chesterville.

| Yum! |
Everyone loves feeding the deer!

Yes Jenn, we got a good snowfall starting Friday, it was beautiful on Sat. but with the tempratures rising so quickly it was very wet and already starting to melt.....the crazies on their snowmobiles are already out....we had one for over 10 years but never were stupid enough to take it out so soon....the damage you can do if there's not enough snow is serious....but then that's what makes them crazy!!!!!!
