The rain that fell over the past few days has melted all the fluffy snow.  Six deer were taking advantage of that yesterday morning.  I could see their silhouettes in the field as they fed on the grass in the open areas.

There is a lot of ice on my driveway and the hiking trails.  At this very minute there is snow falling on top of the ice.  It's going to be treacherous for walking.

I got the bird feeders filled and the suet cakes out before the snow started falling.  The birds must have been waiting in the tree tops.  As soon as the feeders were full, they swooped down and there was a feeding frenzy happening.  Woodpeckers, nuthatches, bluejays, chickadees and magpies took turns at the sunflower seeds and peanuts.

The wood box is full and supper is in the oven.  I'll be heading out soon to pick up my grand-daughters for a sleepover weekend.  The weather will determine how much outside time we will have.  If the forecast is accurate, we are in for a few centimeters of snow and cooler temperatures.

When it snows, you have two choices:  shovel or make snow angels.
