Squirrel Eating Lunch

This squirrel - fuzzy with its winter fur - is grabbing a quick lunch before heading up the tree.

Snow Sculptures

 The snow sculptures in Stillwater were quite impressive. 

Waterlogue - Cardinal

The cardinals have been visiting the feeders during the winter a lot. It's always so uplifting to see them, especially after not seeing them a lot during the summer. I think all the native plants provide enough food for them that they do not need the seeds at the feeder. Now, however, with the cold they need all the food they can get.

Checking on the Land

During the winter we still walk the property to make sure that everything is okay. It's important as caretakers of these ten acres that animals are safe and not hurt anywhere on it. We enjoyed seeing all the activity wherever we walked - tracks, rubbings on trees, and "beds" that the animals made in the grass and weeds.

Ice Crystals

It is so cold today that ice crystals are covering the doors and windows.
