By afternoon the clouds are clearing and the snow has melted. 
This is the flow in the Northwest. After almost 9 years I still haven't learned to surrender and just go with it. Many Californians can't take it and leave. Long, cold, dark winters and then this. It is not supposed to snow in spring. However, I am coming to realize that snow in spring is not a negative. By watching the natural inhabitants, I'm catching on.
Snow does not make the birds sad. They are active and cheerful no matter what the weather. They seem to like snow, maybe because they appreciate all the moisture it brings. Moisture in any form - snow, hail, or rain, is welcome. It brings life.
A Robin looking for morsels in the leaf litter.
A Pileated Woodpecker found the suet.
Finches (undoctored photo) found the other feeder.
And a Nuthatch (doctored photo).
It may be a bit early to start seeds outside, but indoors the flowers sprouted in only a couple of days. The grow light works wonders.
It's 33 degrees, sun breaking out of the clouds, at 9:00 am.

Oh the gods, your pictures are so beautiful! Always, always stunning.
I would love to be able to go with the flow of Nature, to be more in tune with it, and accept it. I think Zorro is already on the way there, to be more accepting of the flow of Nature, and he is very happy. He told me that the day he left Sweden it was snowing again -and when it will be back there in two weeks it might still be snowing a little :)
Oh I forgot to tell you: I love your new template!
Thank you Milla!
Love the photo of the Pileated woodpecker. We've been hearing one, but haven't been able to see it.
Hope it's sunny soon.
