A Stroll in the Snow

Bob tried out the snowshoes I gave him for Christmas.

According to Bob, he didn't "float" like he thought he would. Bob thinks be might be pushing the weight limit of the shoes.

Another contributing factor could be that the snow is powdery, not dense.

Bob says he will try again in different conditions, not that he really WANTS any more snow.

Feeding Frenzy

A flock of starlings swooped down into our back yard this morning and proceeded to feast on the bird seed in our feeders.

The starlings must have heard about the winter weather advisory in effect from 7:00 PM this evening through 10:00 AM tomorrow morning. An additional 4-6 inches of snow are expected.

Smells Good

I have chili simmering on the stove. It smells good in here!
