"A time for peace, I swear it's not too late"

Finally, a real winter snow ...

We have had a very warm winter.  A few dustings of snow, temperatures in the 30's and 40's and open water on our lakes.  Today that all changed. Today we have a wonderful, deep, heavy snowfall.  The real thing ... the perfect snowman building snow and the worst kind of snow to shovel from your walks.  We still have open water, but this is much more like winter, so for the moment, I am going to enjoy and not worry about how soon Spring will be here.

It started last night and was still snowing when I got up this morning ... probably around 8 inches of snow.

You can see the incongruity of the open water in the snowy winter scene.



The birds are waiting for me to clear their feeders ...

The crows love my suet ...

This is my view from my computer desk ... from here I can follow what is going on by my feeders and on the lake.  Sadly I saw Common Mergansers  on the lake this morning.  It is much too early for them to be here.  They usually migrate through in April.  Hopefully, with the open water, they will be able to feed and tolerate what winter has in store for us until they can move on.  So that's my story today.  Hope you are having a wonderful day too.
