today we woke up to snow... several inches blanketing everything! fierce winds throughout the night had ushered it in... a flock of migrant birds just swept in and battled over access to all the goodies in the bird feeder... now they're gone, leaving just a few seeds and husks overtop the snow on the round squirrel protector (which never seems to keep the squirrels from getting to the feeder)...
later we will walk the dog down a nearby country road, winter boots snug on our feet...
