Here is the view from our deck. Sometimes I put seeds on the deck posts for the Chickadees to help themself (not counting the other 5 bird feeders we have!)
Hope my little trees make it this winter!
Here is my sweet little Downy Woodpecker!
Here was our snowy drive to breakfast this morning!
The little woodpecker is really cute!
ReplyDeleteHere in upstate NY we have about a foot of snow and it was -2 this AM!
OH Shellmo--your like us! We are lightly snowing and probably about 2 whopping degrees also. I'm outta bird seed and that is one of my chores today! I cant get enough of bird watching. It drives the cat crazy but hey--it gives em something to do.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful it is there! We are about 20 degrees here now. Our pump to our well froze and we have no water...It is being fixed right now.
ReplyDeleteSimply breathtaking
ReplyDeleteAt least you have snow with your 2 degree weather. We're having sub-zero weather in Kentucky, but no snow! If it's going to be cold, I'd like to enjoy it with a little snow!
ReplyDeleteas pretty as it is,I am so tired of winter,already,lol!!!!
ReplyDeletestill, going to be a will for spring melt yet.
Lovely pictures. Stay warm. It's snowy and cold here.
ReplyDelete-1 this morning but it is on the rise.
ReplyDeleteWe grilled the other night, we do year round. Well, my husband does. He does anything for a good steak!
Love your log cabin and the birds are all beautiful
ReplyDeleteSunny and 59 here. Love the pics! I would cozy up next to the fireplace with a good book if I were there.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm still waiting, Shelley... I keep waiting on your to get in your private jet and bring me some snow. PUH-LEASE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo snow here yet--other than bits and pieces flying around in the air.
Great pictures form the Log Cabin. But I do have a question... How hungry were you in order to get OUT in that mess to go and have breakfast??????? Yipes!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
Okay, today's high in Phx is 79 degrees.I'd trade you the sunshine for some snow any day.Patrick says it's my turn to be depressed :>( being here since he is the whole time I'm in Idaho without him. Mean hubby. Love the little fluffy woodpecker. You take such pretty pics.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, Shelley. We're almost as cold as you are, but no snow. I think it would have to warm up in order to snow here.
ReplyDeletepretty snowy pictures. It is still unseasonably warm here in the Denver area. Sixties! Stay warm. are you totally recovered from the flu you had. Hope I am not having a senior moment...think it was you with the flu (o:

Grammy - it was me on my deathbed w/ the flu - lol! Thanks for asking - I'm much better! Now I'm craving warm weather!
This cold snap is something else, isn't it? I'd been thinking about how unusual it is - it is hitting such a large area of the United States. Pics are gorgeous, though!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty pictures I like the birds.
ReplyDeleteisn't is so weird how when it has been below zero for awhile and suddenly it is above zero and it feels warm?!! I have still not figured it out! We have been having unbelievably warm weather! today is 40.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's pretty cold here, too, but certainly not 2 degrees! Wow...now that's COLD!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the pic. you took of the Downy Woodpecker! I can just feel the frigid cold air when I look at the one of the snow-covered road. Brrrr!!!
City Mouse - I keep wondering when its going to end!
ReplyDeleteKathy - thank you! They are wonderful to watch!
Michele - you are right! Now I'd be grateful for 10 degrees even!
April - glad you like the Downy - they are plentiful here by our cabin.
Fantastic shot of the woodpecker! Love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Shelley,
ReplyDeleteDiscovered your blog via Betsy and George down in Crossville, TN....
I'm just a piece down the road, closer to Nashville.
What a lucky lady you are, living in a log house is a dream of mine, one I hope to fulfill one day, and surround it by those Great Smoky Mountains.
We have a log cabin builder here in the County, they seem to be very popular, I wish I could help represent them, but they are never hiring :(
Old Timer Log homes is their name.
Hope to visit you often, keep warm !
You have just been tagged by me. If you visit my blog you will get the fun details.
ReplyDeleteLooks gorgeous! I'm wondering what has happened to MY winter!! We've had 58 degrees now for 2 weeks! I'm ready for some more snow!
ReplyDeleteWell your chickadees are adorable all fat and cuddly looking! You feed them well! We were just wondering how you get such gorgeous bird pictures - if you have feeders up etc..
ReplyDeleteYour little trees are darling too.
Our big freeze and snow storm is long gone and now we're just really foggy around here.
I always enjoy your birdie pictures! The little "woody" is especially cute!
ReplyDeleteWe are back in the 60's again today, nice and sunny. While I am sure that sounds really appealing to a lot of folks, I sure do miss having an actual winter down here. Our winter is more like fall and I miss having snow and crisp cold mornings!
Connie
It was 4 degrees at our cabin this morning. My neighbors water line froze and we had to use a heat gun to thaw it out.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog today and have enjoyed the writing even though I wasn't able to see any of the pics. They were all x'd out. :(
ReplyDeleteMy DH and I have a dream of building a small cabin someday and I think your blog will help inspire us!
Thank you,
Debbie
It is very cold here, below zero Friday night, just not sure how low. Depends which station you listen to.
ReplyDeleteNo snow!!! Betsy and I keep looking.

Great pictures, as usual, Shelley. The woodpecker shot is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteBut I love the chickadees, too.
Tell Greg to throw on a couple of racks of ribs. I'm on my way.
ReplyDeleteThat is way too cold. I would imagine you have 4 wheel drive to get around there, don't you?
ReplyDeleteWe are thawing out. Still cold, but the snow is melting in patches.
About the time it is gone, it will be time for another storm.
Stay warm
Cedar - those woodpeckers just make great photography subjects!
