One of my favorite morning rituals, sit by my picture window, camera in hand, sip my coffee and watch the birds. Hmmmm… makes for an interesting mental picture.
Here is it January of 2015 already. Where did the year go?
Actually I’m glad to see last year go. It started out okay but ended pretty lousy. I was hollering for a do over towards the end there, but now I’ll just opt for a fresh start.
Now here we are, a fresh snow and good ole bitter cold to go with it. For a little while there I thought Mother Nature was going to take it easy on us this winter. I was enjoying the temps in 40’s, especially over Christmas- but alas, we do live in Illinois!
Morning after last night’s storm- about 6 inches of powder snow
Our Morning temps have been dipping into the 40’s all month. The poor little humming birds are puffed up trying to stay warm and staying close to the feeders. This little girl stayed at the feeder all morning.
