We’ve been busy keeping up since the storm began. I managed to get more bird food, so the restaurant is open for a few more days, hopefully until the weather improves. Until then, we have literally hundreds of birds here at any given time. Mostly they are little Juncos and a very few Robins. We also have our resident Blue Jays and Sparrows dropping by and even the Crows are showing up, chasing everyone away, seemingly with pleasure. Difficult times, even for our birds. It feels so good to be able to help them out, even briefly. 04/05/20
This is how we started the day yesterday - shovelling almost 10” of snow off the decks. Obviously I was a little too optimistic about spring’s arrival. This weather seems particularly hard to take… who needs a 2 day snow storm with everything else that is going on these days? Oh well… what can you do? “Press on Regardless” as we say in my family when things get rough. I guess that’s how we are all feeling. One day at a time, my friends - take care and Press on Regardless. 04/04/20 ps… I couldn’t get to the path to take the comparison shot I promised, the snow was too deep to walk through.
This is how our path looked a few days ago. Then yesterday - we were thrilled (!!!) to receive about a foot of snow. This morning it’s still coming down and our temps have plummeted to a bone chilling - 20C (-4F) with the nasty wind chill …. so very upsetting for all the songbirds that have just arrived and are struggling to survive. I’m running out of bird food so somehow I have to get to the store today for more. I’ll take a shot of the same scene this afternoon to post tomorrow, if and when the storm lets up a little. 04/03/20
