Winter Visitors 2011

These pretty little gold finches spend the winter with us every year. They've discovered my feeders loaded with sunflowers. A whole flock of them come each year, but they'll be gone by spring break.

Cold and Rainy Day

Here's what you do on a cold and rainy winter day. We bought this firewood from a guy out in Pert. He has it cut, split and stacked, but we have to go get it. The other night, when David and I went to get it, there was still snow on it from the sleet and snow we received a few days earlier.
This fireplace is right next to my chair and I love sitting beside it with a cup of coffee. Today we're watching playoff games and throwing another log on every 30 minutes or so. In front of this is about the only warm spot in the house.
