That was a snow storm! It snowed all night. We are snowed in! No TV Satellite (horrors!), and we've some work to do to get dug out. The roads are bad. Our high today is -9℃, with it plunging to -12 today.
Grampa was gifted with these beautiful bears. Baby bear seemed tipsy! I readjusted her.
🪓I took note of this the other day. It's buried under ground cover of 20 - 30 cm snow! Non-mental note, we've a tree down in the meadow. I shall have to clean it up. I plugged in the reciprocal saw battery. We need kindling, so this is good. Sort of! I did chop some kindling Monday, we're good for a time.
I made sure the feeders were filled the night before. We've tapped snow off of the feeders 3 or 4 times. I'll have to do it again today.

We've 3 males and one female cardinal.
I finally got its read head.

Tuesday there was an unusual visitor. A starling. They should have migrated. I'll keep an eye out. It seems to like the cracked corn, as do the mourning doves. I'll keep refilling that.
Barb asked about our Vancouver grandies' Panto: East Van Panto: West Van Story. It is a 'pantomime', as far as I know. Jesse doesn't have a moment to talk! There is much singing and choreography. I found a photo on FB of the whole group. I found Cluny and Bryony. Usually their Vancouver Nana posts photos, but everyone is busy.
This is the whole crew, it's on their Facebook page. The kids rotate and take turns in performances, there are 15 kids in the cast.  |
| Cluny has the orange shirt in the middle, Bryony is two kids to the right, pink pants. AFAIK!!! |

| Last year's panto! Bryony and Cluny ever did the promo shots for last year's show. |
Joe has been busy rearranging.

Wow -- you live in a winter wonderland! It's beautiful but -- a LOT! I think Joe and I would get along just fine (unless we kept rearranging the other's rearrangements!)
I'm so glad to have asked, and read the interesting description of the production. I would not have understood all the verbiage audibly, since new words were all over the place (to me). First I had to learn that Van meant Vancouver. Duh. We got a dusting of snow! Love the stuffies posed with seasonal greatings. (There, spell check doesn't know that word, stuffies!)
I was pleased to see that our driveway had been cleared when I peered out at 2:30. Dani got home from her exam around 10pm and has to go in for another exam today.

Oh, I'm so happy to see the bear gang escaping the bedroom! That's a lot of snow... YAM xx
I would NOT do well with that much snow!
Your snow looks beautiful but I'm glad that we didn't get that much. It melted to slush in the afternoon and then froze.
That's a lot of snow! The birdies really appreciate your uncovering their dinner. Linda in Kansas
NOW THAT is a serious blanket of snow! I'm glad you had the foresight to have plenty of wood on hand. Stay warm, the kids look great!
Michael is out blowing snow with the tractor now. He figures there was about a foot on the ground. He shovelled the porch and cleared off the bird feeder for my little friends. It's quite windy too.
We are plowed out as of this morning and JG is off to town with the grocery list. I love your bird pics. We have a mourning dove that is using the feeders - unusual, in my observation. But you have way more species of birds than we do. I covet the cardinals.
great picture of the kids...I am smiling ear to ear with all of these snow pictures...
I love all the birds! No snow here yet. You can keep it there.
Take care, have a great day!
I think stay at home is the safest today. Love the snow tableaus, we are sadly way behind, I did think of buying a wreath for the front door or some lights to string somewhere, then left them all in the shops for another younger more agile person to struggle with.
That really is a proper winter lock-in — wild, beautiful and slightly chaotic all at once. Your place must look incredible under that much snow. The bears made me smile, especially the slightly tipsy baby — good thing you were there to steady her.
I love how your birds keep showing up no matter the weather. Cardinals in fresh snow are pure magic, and that stray starling feels like its own little mystery. I love to see your animals. We havent's cardinals here.
Take care digging yourselves out!

I'd love the snow but hate losing tv! You have a winter wonderland there. So pretty!
Looking forward to your next photos! I have never tried snowshoes but it looks like they take a specific skill. It sounds like you are managing well.
Well, it all looks gorgeous but not if you are snowed in and can't get anywhere. How wonderful about your Vancouver grandies. I remember the pantomimes at Christmas time, such great memories of going with my mom and dad. I remember Dick Whittington and Peter Pan, Jack and the Beanstalk, all fun memories. Hope all goes well with you and Joe with the weather you've been having, and that it eases up some. Happy December!
Oh the birds! I haven't paid attention to them this week but have been feeding them. I will this weekend.
I had a starling visit last week also along with bluebirds which really confused me!
I love that Joe rearranges the decorations. I do the same thing and probably will this weekend when we hit the deep freeze.
