That was a snowy adventure. The bird bath is holding up well. Thanks, John. There was snow to brush off. The trick is, when doing the bird feeders, that you don't get the snow in your sleeves!
Here was my morning project. I'd totally forgotten to detach and drain the 2nd water barrel. My bad.
Managing to get the top off, there was a layer of ice!
Draining it with a hose as syphon (the spigot was frozen), I'll have to go back out today and remove it, tip it over, and lay it beside the house. I'll have to go and buy a new drain spout, non-mental note. This one has cracked, and broken where it should attach to the drain pipe below.
I should have posted this prior to the snowfall! Butch and Peter are loving the pumpkins.
We'll leave you with this. I am warmed by Caitlin's beach photos! She is enjoying her Punta Cana trip with her friend. It's a relatively quiet and a smaller resort, unlike the one we went to together in 2017. People would 'reserve' beach loungers all day, coming back after meals. They weren't supposed to, but they would hoard their spot. Caitlin is enjoying her time there.
I tried to find a nice snow photo, but my heart wasn't in it.

I was busy enough yesterday that I din't check the trailcameras at all."I do love a beach! The waves are lovely, very little seaweed, it’s warm… Heaven!"

...you got a lot more snow that we did.
Our driveway did not melt completely. Maybe I should have shovelled. I hope this isn’t the year that it sticks already.

Brrrrrrrrrrr.... love that vid with Pumpkin Peter (at least, I am assuming that's him). YAM xx
Ah yes those lingering yet to do pre-winter garden tasks ... I have yet to get my rose huts on. Butch seems to have brought friends to the party.
Hello,
Looks very cold there, with all that snow. The birds will appreciate the bird feeders. Love seeing the deer with the pumpkins. Take care, enjoy your day!
What a fun post, though not making light of all the snow you have to deal with already, and the chores it brings. Lucky Caitlin's enjoying Punta Cana. Good for her. That’s quite a contrasting photo :)
The critters are enjoying your pumpkins!!
I used to fly to Idaho in the Fall to winterize Dad's house. He had an evaporative cooler and so had to drain it of water and shut and drain the water lines. Sometimes there would be a little ice in the pan in October.
Nothing is interested in the pumpkins I threw down. Go Figure?
Peter has it made.
Peter seems quite tame and not fazed by your car. The pumpkins, not something they would eat in the wild, I wonder why they find them so tasty.
There's always something we forget to empty and it's not supposed to freeze.
It would be nice to be on a warm beach today.
Such a contrast in photos and temperatures from first to last...
Wow, the first snow really got you busy. Glad the drive melted on its own. Love seeing your critters enjoying the last of the pumpkins. No commenta about beaches here...I'm just too jealous.
I could handle some sunshine and warm weather. It will be a long winter! Your snow is way prettier than ours:)
Wow! You have an impressive amount of snow!
You are so smart to advance prep. It seems like this year's snow is early. I want to be where Caitlin is!
