First there was one visitor at the bird feeder. Well two, if you count the squirrel tucked inside the feeder.
And when I came back, there were three.
This is most likely the mother and her twins that were frequent visitors this summer. They have spent quite a bit of time here this winter, even bedding down sometimes at night. They are welcome at the bird feeder, which is where I prefer they dine, over my plants.
Mom kept a lookout the whole time they were here, seeming to notice every move I made in the house.
Our first snow of the New Year and it’s a welcome change from the rather regular rain and mud we’ve had all of December. It may only be white, but it brightens up the boring scenery of 50 shades of brown that is characteristic of winter in Ohio.
Snow makes everything beautiful and more magical.
A rickety chandelier becomes enchanting.
An empty, barren window box becomes quietly beautiful.
Snow adds grace and loveliness to everything it touches. It is the gift of winter.
Love the pics!
It’s the only time winter is beautiful. I am learning to love winter and even the snow.
So lovely – snow does banish the uglies, for sure!

Resistance is futile. 😉
How lovely. I’d like to see some snow here in the winter! Sweet to see those dear, Cindy. What a treat.
They are fun to watch and walk the neighborhood as if they own the place. It’s not as much fun in the summer when they are eating my perennials.
Wow! Beautiful pictures! I love your candelabra! And your visitors – how magical.
Thank you Ali! The snow is nearly melted, but more coming tomorrow. I love snow as long as I don’t have to shovel it.
