Frosty

 

 

The feathery frost on the kitchen window is pretty, but when I see this, I know it must be darn cold out there. It's minus 17C this morning with the wind chill.

 

 

The birds were here early looking for food. This House Finch was waiting patiently as I struggled to get my boots and coat on over several layers of clothing, and numerous pairs of socks.

 

 

Merfy sits waiting patiently as well, to go out for his "morning constitutional", sporting his new hand knit sweater. Tell me you know what the design on it is!

(Hint, it's a squirrel).

 

 

We got more snow, and none of us are too happy about that! This grey squirrel (Redfeather) spotted me as I stumbled out the door, reminding me that I forgot the hazelnuts!

 

By the time I got all the feeders filled up, the Blue Jays had found the peanuts on the fence, and it started snowing again.

 

 Rumor has it, there will be a "heat wave" on Saturday! It is forecast to go up to zero!!

At The Beach

We went to the beach on the weekend. The last visit until next spring. 

It was chilly(54F)and windy, we were the only people there!

 

Beep had a great time running back and forth on the shore.

 

 

We had a picnic dinner, and stayed to watch the sunset.

Sweet Stoney Braveheart always insists on two peanuts at a time!

(He has the most magnificent tail I have ever seen on a squirrel)

 

Male House Finch, a common bird, but one of my favourites.

 

Nigella damascene (Love-in-a-Mist) 

Last week I featured the same flower in pink.  I was thrilled to have some blue, and some white ones bloom from the same seed packet.

Merfy, I just love this sweet little face and that cute nose!
