So several people have asked me if we really did get the 2 feet of snow that was forecast - well I know that some areas of the province did (and even more than that) - and I think we got a good 6 inches or so? It snowed on Saturday night and then melted a bit then snowed almost all day yesterday and now is melting again.
The funny thing is that we have LITERALLY been invaded with BIRDS! Robins mostly - but I've noticed several other types hiding in the trees and bushes around the house. They showed up when it first started snowing and not only have they stayed but TONS more have come to visit!
I took this picture yesterday from my studio window - just a lone robin hanging out in the front yard in all the snow.
And then later on yesterday a bunch more showed up. A lot of the bushes in the front have berries and whatnot on them so they all chowed down and had a feast (and some of them looked like they didn't need it - I tried to get better pics but they would see me in the window and fly off into the bushes - but some of these guys were HUGE! Like it would take both of my hands just to hold one!)
And this is what it looks like now - and man if you could REALLY see them all - the bushes and trees on both sides of the house are FULL of robins - there has to be at least 100 of them in our yard alone!
The girls have had a blast watching them - and they (the birds) keep scaring the heck out of me b/c every hour or so one flies into either my studio window or the living room window and the noise makes me jump - just the last one was HUGE - I only caught a glimpse of the bird but it looked like a hawk (all these birds out front are like a walking buffet for them).
And this little guy has been hanging out for the past couple of days in the tree that's like a foot from the living room window. He just sits on the trunk and will scoot over to the other side where we can't see him if he catches movement in the window. When he thinks it's safe he'll slowly move over to the side here (when inevitably Josie jumps out and bangs on the window like any 2 year old must do LOL!).
So anywho I'm almost scared to open the front door for fear of a massive load of bird poop falling on my head from all these guys!

Stay tuned for a little later - I have my samples using Papertrey's Simple Little Things Anniversary set yet to be posted as my camera batteries just dies and I'm recharging them as I type this.
