This first picture shows our driveway (somewhere under there) with a view from our front deck, to our gate (the opening at the top of the picture.) It's a slight incline uphill, 1/8th mile, and only accessible, in this snow, with 4WD.
Obviously we have to feed the birds. This is our cluster of feeders, with some spillage on the ground, so nothing is wasted, obviously!
This just came out as a nice close-up with all the cardinals gathering around the feeders. The type of birds changes with the time of day. We had a flock of red wing blackbirds here last afternoon. There were a few doves this morning. We also have 4 different types of woodpeckers (we have 4 suet feeders not pictured).
We needed the moisture as it's been a dry fall and winter. And it's pretty. And if you don't have to work, and you don't have kids at home to entertain, it can be enjoyable.
While other people were running around over the weekend, as this storm was well forecasted, I bought a few groceries, bought some material for quilting, and got some good books to read, from the library. No panic here! We got extra gas for the generator, dog food and horse feed, bird seed, and we're set! We did not buy out the store, as we know the plows will get around to us, and we do have a jeep if we really want to get out. And it will probably be all gone in a week or less...
