We have the usual suspects at the feeders!
We haven't seen anything at them, aside from the Dratted Red Squirrels and Blue Jays!
Off I went..
I made it down to the frog pond. Things are melting. It smells like spring! Dead leaves, mold, fungus, petrichor.
This tree has tenants, the woodpecker refused to be on camera. I set up the trailcam a while back. No luck. The bark has been peeling off.
The snow is almost gone, the native phragmites are green.
This is a non-mental note. I must clean out this wood duck nest box, once the pond freezes and I can stand on it. Also, the flashing needs to be restapled.
I am hoping for a white Christmas. We shall see!
I'm working on a felt landscape. It needs work, but it really is play.
Until Dec. 17th...after a rain.
This is the meadow. The moss is thriving.

Moss is always so pretty this time of the year. Ahhh, enjoy the play with paints!
ReplyDeleteI never was very good at that but yours looks great!
Now that the deer have found your feeder, they should be regular visitors. What a strange mid-winter thaw, hopefully none of your frogs wake up!
ReplyDeleteI hope deer come along, like they did last winter.
ReplyDeleteAlas, the piled plow snow is deep enough already, that it is resisting mightily.
ReplyDeleteSo much snow melted. More tonight I think.
ReplyDeleteI really like your play. We are having a mild few days but by the weekend we will be melting again. Temperatures of 30C and over are in our forecast for all of next week.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI love the deer and Jay. The deer here are hiding from the hunters, I never see them any more. Take care, have a great day!
We don't get a lot of snow so I like seeing it there. Loved the pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou have some very changeable weather to deal with.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking us on this nature walk. Splendid to look at.
ReplyDeleteLiked your felt picture too.
