SO WITH COFFEE AND MUFFINS IN HAND

 JUNCO
It was my turn to drive this morning so with coffee and muffins in hand, Richard and I made our way south of Bayfield to the Grand Bend area.  Beautiful sunny morning with blue skies all around.  We pretty well stuck to the backroads enjoying winter's rural scenery all the way.  I always look forward every couple of weeks to these backroad country drives of ours.  We never run out of interesting things to talk about and I always come home with my batteries charged.

Didn't take any photos today but I have a few bird pics in my files that didn't make the cut into my posts this past week or two.

Home again about noon I noticed skies slowly clouding over.  We have a winter storm advisory out with snow beginning late afternoon or early evening.  Heavy at times they say.  Doesn't look like a good week coming up with plunging temperatures and more snow.  But at least it's February 4th with Spring to look forward to and not November 4th with dreaded winter's long months still ahead of us.

At the time of publishing this post tonight, another winter storm is almost upon us.  Our bird feeders were very active late this afternoon and the frenzied activity indicated to me the birds had already sensed and knew of the approaching overnight snowstorm.

Waiter: "Looks like the backstroke sir."

I have a friend who tried to take a selfie in the shower, but the image was too blurry...He had selfie steam issues.

  2. Glad you recharged with Richard.
    We just got covered by a couple of inches so you'll be looking at Four to Six Inches. You've got an advantage over us. All those Meteorologist Birds.
    Ne Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

  3. ... just wondering if both of you have gotten your vaccine yet? Are they doing it in your small town or do you have to drive to a bigger area? We got the first and are eager to receive the second.

    1. No, no vaccines shots. Haven't heard of anyone getting shots in our area and we don't know of anyone contacting the Covid virus.

    Stay warm!
