The weather forecaster kept saying that a big snowfall was on its way.  I was looking forward to waking up to a blanket of white.  Well, there was a sprinkle of white; enough to cover the brown but not enough to do anything in it. 

I made sure that the birdfeeders were full before the snow started falling.  My feathered friends took advantage of that.  There was a flurry of activity.  

Four bluejays were fighting for space at the tray feeder.  Each took a turn to load up on peanuts.  It didn't take long to empty the tray.

Woodpeckers flew in from the treetops.  Their antics at the suet feeder caught my attention.  The nuthatches and chickadees visited the sunflower seed feeders.

The amount of the snowfall was disappointing but I do appreciate the little teaser.  I know that the snow will eventually come and my x-country skis and snowshoes will be dusted off and put to good use.  Until then, I'll just watch my feathered friends in the backyard and daydream about my snow-days.
