It is a snowy day

 It's been cold. I know you know. We're in Canada, and it is winter! I knew what I'd be up to on Wednesday! About 7 cm snow fell. If it is going to cold, it might as well be pristine white. For now. 

You can see the Labbit tracks on the sidewalk! She is very speedy and tends to slip by the trailcam.


I ventured out and spotted deermouse tracks. (I think!) The snow was falling at bedtime. 

I've spent more time watching critters from the front window.  There are two black ones. They seem to have signed a peace treaty. 


I've noticed that the mourning doves aren't bothered by the blue jays. The blue jays have such a rep for being bullies. 

This is who I've been watching as well! She bears watching. 


I settled down to listen to something, I forget what, and took out my sketching tools. It's been a minute since I did so. 

Joseph Brian was settled in to watch Olympic curling on Gem. It froze. Too many watchers, I believe. There were complaints online. He gave up. It was fun while it lasted! 


They have a keen nose for food!

 

 In the meantime, I spotted the turkey trio. It's early for mating season. I was fascinated! They are all males, you can tell by their 'beards' and they were getting into it.
