02.28.19 A beautiful snowfall

We'll take a break in the bird postings and enjoy the moment of this beautiful snow fall. The snow is light and fluffy and was easy to shovel - an important aspect for me! Yesterday we saw a blue bird sitting on a flower pot left outside, today we have snow. The one thing I really like about February is that you can see the birds begin to migrate north, you can hear the cardinal singing early in the morning, the days are getting longer, and when it is not snowing the skies are usually a beautiful blue. Even though it is still cold, February is one of my favorite months as I feel that it heralds Spring. They very well may be more snow and cold days, but you can feel Spring is just around the corner.

Here are some wintry pictures for you to enjoy.



A bench positioned to enjoy the gardens around the back of the house. Really have not taken advantage of that opportunity in the past. Maybe this year!







They love the snow. At least two out of three. Gunnarr has been back inside sooner than the others. It might be because he is always next to me or he just doesn't want to get his paws cold. But he never misses  a cavalry charge on squirrel patrol.









Serious running this morning with Shorty in the lead. Usually it is Fionnegan who is first, then Gunnarr, then Shorty. But those pesky squirrels are at the feeders and Shorty has a duty to protect the birds!







Gunnarr warming up after a fast run outside. Fionn was close behind him coming inside.





Once inside they all are towel dried and fluffed. The twins cuddle up on the couch and quickly fall asleep.






A special winter treat - the clivia bloomed this year. A gorgeous flower that is thoroughly enjoyed.


Until next time...…. I will work on more bird pictures from the Rio Grande Valley.
