Snow Makes Everyone More Friendly

I've talked about how skittish the cardinals are in the yard. Something flipped their switch, and we had four males and four females all around the patio looking for good eats. I have five seed feeders and one suet feeder hanging from the eaves. One cardinal found himself so brave as to hop onto a feeder rather than hang out down below and eat what the finches have dropped.

These photos were taken on Friday afternoon during the beginning of the storm. That's why you can still see some grass in the background. That has since been covered by a foot and a half of the purdy white stuff.

We also had about an inch more of snow last night. The interesting thing about a blanket of snow is that it becomes a blueprint for things that go bump in the night. There were deer footprints in the driveway and mouse tracks on the sidewalk.
