What do you do with a photo of house finches all with their mouths open?
We had the first snow of the season that started in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday and ended after noon. It left behind about 7 inches of fluffy white snow in its wake. Finally! It was lovely to have nowhere to go and to just sit by the fire and watch the flakes softly falling.
The birds were very active and we both had great fun watching them and trying to capture them in photos.

The dogs enjoyed the snow too! Here are Alex and Hailey on the deck. If you look closely you can see Bella down in the yard.
Repeating patterns!
Our new little electric snow shovel (that acts like a snowblower) made cleaning off the deck an easy task. It worked like a charm!
Yesterday it did not get above freezing and cloudy so there was no melting going on. This morning it is already above freezing as I type and we are supposed to have temperatures in the 40’s with rain and fog. Easy come; easy go I guess. It was nice while it lasted!
