KEEPING THE BIRD FEEDERS TOPPED UP AND SHOVELING SNOW

OUT AND ABOUT THIS MORNING
With another snow dump overnight I think the novelty of shoveling snow has finally worn off.  Especially since it snowed for most of the day.  Cleared two-thirds of my paths this morning before loading up Pheebs and heading out.  I could see it was snowing and blowing in the countryside so we turned the other way and took a short drive into Bayfield and back this morning.  Aside from keeping the bird feeders topped up and shoveling more snow that was it for another winter's day.

 A LONE ICE FISHERMAN OUT ON THE BAYFIELD RIVER
AT LEAST I  ASSUME HE IS ICE FISHING
 ALONG BAYFIELD'S BEACH IT LOOKS LIKE A MOONSCAPE 

 A COLD SATURDAY MORNING ALONG BAYFIELD'S MAIN STREET
 I SAW PEOPLE OUT MOVING SNOW AROUND
 THERE HAS BEEN VERY LITTLE ACTIVITY AT BAYFIELD'S NEW BRIDGE THE LAST FEW WEEKS
 HEADING HOME
GROANER'S CORNER:((    Many years ago, in the south pacific, there was a small island kingdom that was ruled by a kind and benevolent King. Each year, on the King's birthday, the residents of the island gave the King a new throne as a token of their love and respect for him.  And each year, the King would put last year's gift up in the attic of his small grass house. After many years of ruling the island, the weight of a large number of birthday presents stored up in the attic became too heavy and caused the house to collapse down on the King.  The moral to the story is: He who lives in grass house, shouldn't stow thrones.

  2. Pheebs must have been glad to be riding with you inside the jeep and not having to walk through that blowing snow. Hope the weather will improve soon!

  5. Love the pic of Pheebs looking out at the log cabin...thought it was a little red house at first, it read red. :-) Wish I could post pics in the comments in return...reminds me of a pic I took at Christmas of a window poinsettia looking out at all the outdoor plants, with a Christmas candle lit in the window.

    Your main street reminds me of the old tv show Northern Exposure. One expects to see the moose come walking down the snowy street.

    Have drowned a few minnows ice-fishing in Minnesota, sitting on a snowmobile and drinking COLD hot chocolate out of a thermos, lol. This guy looks like he really knows his stuff, though.

    Confess to loving the friendly old country bridge better than the shiny new one...sorry...cringe...

    Love the greys in your moonscapes! Snowy blessings, Ann
