Snowy morning

It looked like January this morning.


That's the bluebird's nest box, by the tree. We put it on a metal pole this time, to keep the cats away. The birds have been looking at it, but so far no takers. The other one we put up in the trees has chickadees in it. The sunflower eaters don't seem to mind the weather, but the insect eaters are not as happy.





We had a lot more snow than usual this winter. The shed didn't survive.

                                                                              Going...

Going...


                                                                                 Gone.


It was kind of an eyesore, so I'm not too upset. J took it down last weekend. Yes, it looks even worse now, but it'll get better. The back part was built by J and J, and it stood up to the snow, unlike the Sears portion. It'll be perfect for a small goat or other furry lawn mower. Maybe that will be better and easier than chickens. I'm still enjoying the "leavings" they made though. You can't beat free fertilizer.

Hey, this is pretty cool. I like all the pictures you are including. The California Quail pic on the side bar is my favorite. You could frame that one! It would make a great Christmas present for the relatives...

One of these days we will wake up to summer, eh? (I hope)

Photo credit goes to Big J, he took most of the pictures. Those quail are probably wondering why they ever left CA...
