Winter color
that's what they call it
remains of grasses and evergreens
The only things that break up the bleakness of deep winter
We are not there yet, but I heard this morning that Minnesota has 18 inches already..we may get 6-8 inches ourselves tonight
Galena probably will get hit hard too....and we are going to miss that glorious feeling of being stranded in wonderland :(
But for now I must enjoy what is before me.
I fed the 7 squirrels that were in trees in my yard
Filled the feeders as the chicadees were complaining
and I made sure that the water was still heated in the birdbath
Oh what I do for my charges....my husband does not get it
That's why I blog...you all get it!
and I love you for it!
Dear Suz, You are so right that one has so many responsibilities outdoors [let alone indoors] at this time of year. I know that by cutting down my garden as winter begins leaves little for wildlife so one has to compensate with a mountain of bird seed, not to mention the defozen water.....!!
ReplyDeleteDear Edith, you are a dear soul to take care of your outside wards...they need the food. I cut my things back in the spring...to leave as much shelter and food remnants as I can...but that can make for a busy Spring

I love the snow landing on the grasses and plants leftover from summer too. Oh, and I have heard that too - about robins staying here. We have to find out about that!
