2/23/08 We haven't measured yet, but according to the weather service, our town got 9.5 inches of snow last night! I can believe it ~ it is a virtual winter wonderland out there! And now the sun is breaking out, so there should be some melting. It would seem winter is well settled in ~ spring seems very far away!
2/22/08 A snowy day ahead! A storm will move in this morning and continue all day, ending sometime tomorrow. 5-9 inches predicted for our area. Once it gets light out, I'll run out to the feeders and make sure they're all filled to the brim. Should be a great day for birdwatching!
2/21/08 Did you see the MOON last night? I was at my book study meeting when Bill called (my heart jumped wondering what could be wrong) to ask me where the camera was, lol! He told me that he and the boys were watching the eclipse, and that it was *amazing* and so after I hung up, I told my friends about it and everyone ran outside to see, lol!

It's going to be *very* cold today. We have Nature Club this afternoon (proposed theme: nature sketching) so we'd best dress very warm. :)
2/18/08 On the downside, a rainy day is upon us, and we really don't need the rain! On the upside though, the temperature will be almost 60 degrees! Back to the 30s by midweek ...

Our birdseed heart (the one from Valentines day) has not been visited by even one bird!! The squirrels love it though, lol. And the cats "love" watching the squirrels through the sliding glass doors. We even had old Tough Nut visit on Friday! We haven't seen her in MONTHS. Long-time readers will know who I mean by Tough Nut. Bill said he saw Blackie out in the woods. And we've had two different red squirrels at the feeders - one is definitely much smaller than the other.

Yesterday Bill did some woodwork staining so we had all the windows open for fresh air. As I worked at the kitchen sink I could hear a striking new bird song out in the woods. I used my camera to take a quick video clip of the song. It's exciting to think that at least the birds seem to think spring is on its way!
I've been sleeping with my window open and every morning there are birds singing that wake me at 6 a.m.
