I haven’t seen many robins north of 60° north latitude, but here’s one that is either very early or may have overwintered.
Amazingly, some do, relying on berries to survive as robins are not seed eaters. In summer, they eat bugs and worms, but those aren’t much available in most winter climates. They will also eat suet, so if you have a suet feeder in your yard, you might attract an early or overwintering robin.
Happy Saturday; happy weekend.
… but the flurries ended and the sun soon returned.
Sometimes, winter doesn’t know when to leave!
My roof glacier has melted a lot!
In the night I was awakened by a thunk but couldn’t find anything amiss inside. Then I realized that some of the roof glacier had probably fallen; in the morning I saw some snowfall underneath the glacier. Between the melting and the falling, I don’t think it’s going to last long!
Happy Saturday.
The sun peeks through trees and crisp, clear air on a northern morning.
Happy Thursday.
There’s a lot of snow on our roof, and it’s beginning to get soft, melty and slidey.
Right now it’s up there solidly, but it either will come down with a thunk or will simply melt away.
I predict that this particular roof glacier will fall rather than melt, but we’ll see. The snowy awning over the door has been trimmed back, eliminating any danger of a sudden snow dump while exiting the house, so it’s fun to watch the progression of the rest of it.
Happy Tuesday.
A misty, moody March sunset.
But it’s warmer and there’s sun!
Happy Monday.
A glass of red can be so comforting on a cold, wintery night and especially together with a comforting meal.
Happy Weekend.
Happy Thursday.
