Super Winter Storm News

Josie watching the noon TV news weather report
 in Maine as they described the super winter storm

along the coast.

She was very concerned!

Snowy Day and Feeding the Wildlife

We are in the midst of a 2 day snow storm.

We are feeding the birds and whoever is hungry in our yard.

To our surprise this little critter appeared.

I first I spotted him in the bird feeder several days ago

when it was actually sunny outside. 

From a distance I was wondering 

what kind of bird that was, thought maybe a tufted titmouse.

Upon closer inspection I realized it was a mouse.

When a gray squirrel startled it, the mouse jumped down

swiftly ran over tall snow banks and under the porch.

Here is Mr. or Mrs. Mouse this afternoon

in our snowstorm.

Blizzard

So very cold today as the temperatures

hovered in the lower single numbers and

the wind swirled the fine snow.

Much activity at the bird feeders.

Down at the beach was quiet.

Sea smoke rose from the ocean which is

a rare sight.

A group of small gulls had gathered on the

beach and some were asleep. They must

have helped each other conserve energy by 

being close together.
