      We’re expecting snow tomorrow and Monday – needless to say we’re disappointed as we just got rid of most of the snow that covered everything for WEEKS. Sigh. Well, it is still Winter – Spring will be here soon!

      Hugs, Pam and Teddy

      I love how the bird is perched right on the edge of the tray.

      I follow several bird photography groups, and I love to see their captures!
      My sis & niece had some close encounters with a turkey tribe in their neighborhood, and they know to stay well out of reach of those aggressive but beautiful birds.

      I google imaged your bird and it came back with American Goldfinch. What a beautiful, delicate little bird. I love the variety of food you have in the feeder. You are a true friend of wildlife.

      Stay warm!!

      Ziggy is a cutie, fore sure! We love birds, too, and that goldfinch has found some good yummies!
      We have new snow on the ground, too…after the old snow a=was all gone…now we can’t see our grass…sigh…at least it was only a couple inches instead of way more like the previous storms.
      Stay warm and cozy!

      My brother lives in MA so I’ve seen how cold and snowy it has been there. It has been unusually warm and dry in the Colorado Front Range so far this winter –worrisome wildfire weather. Happily, the Rockies had some snow the past few days.

    5. The Brian's Home Gang Avatar

      That sure is pretty!

      Every winter is different, some mild, some wild, most in between. At least there is beauty here.

      We’re getting ready for some more snow BUT were grateful for higher temps this week – the snow and ice are almost gone…..just in time for more I suppose!

      We are thrilled we got a few inches of snow yesterday. The more snow the better for us but not everyone feels that way about snow.

      Good thankfuls but I am pretty sure you both will be thankful when Spring shows up. Thanks for joining Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

    9. messymimi's meanderings Avatar

      Don’t wish away the winter too fast, I’m afraid a short winter means a hotter summer, and we really do not need that.

      Still, I do hope you get some grass soon-ish.

    ‘What happened to the snow?’

    It is confusing on Cape Ann MA when one day it snows and the next it melts but the most recent storm left plenty of snow and will take awhile to go away.
