Tracks in the snow

What are they?

Crabapple

The crabapples are hanging on for the birds.

I Spy a Chickadee

See if you can find the Chickadee in this photo taken by JJ.

Thank you everyone for your comments, I didn't realize comment moderation was enabled, so I just read them today.

It's 19 degrees and overcast at about 11:00 am.  Low of -3 last night.  Snow is expected tonight.

Snow snow everywhere

It's another snowy winter.  I thought maybe we would be living in Hawaii by now, but since we're still here, why not continue the blog?

The moose have been visiting us, and I put up some pictures on Lounging About.  The birds have also been here, and I'm feeding them sunflower seeds.

The temperatures have been fluctuating a lot, and the weather goes from pleasantly fresh and moist to uncomfortably icy and dry.  The trees sure look pretty when it's cold enough for the snow to stick to them though.  The crabapple tree was all bent over in this picture, like a weeping cherry, but it sprang back up miraculously when it thawed out.

It's 37 degrees and lightly drizzling at 11:00 am.

The End

I'm all done!  It's been about a year and a half since I started gardenlog, to observe and record the North Idaho seasons, critters, plants and gardening adventures.  It's been great fun, and I've loved taking all the pictures.  But now it's time for something new.  Thank you for reading, and for your wonderful comments. 

Fall colors and patterns

This log is embossed with an intricate maze of worm tunnels.

This is one of those times when I realize that we aren't that clever, our best designs are just copies of things that exist in nature.

This view looks to me like salmon swimming upstream, what are those worms up to?

It's not even winter yet and I've had enough

This cheers me up.  Why can't it always be spring?

It's 45 degrees, and partly sunny at 1:45 pm.
