I spoke too soon...

I was all on about spring in the last post, but we're not there yet! We got a whopping big snowstorm yesterday...


The snow is sticking to all the trees! So lovely.



Here's a panoramic view. Not my best stitchery, but you get the idea.



Mrs. Cardinal was out looking for breakfast.



Our laneway was all plowed out by 8 pm. Bernie the trusty farmer is very reliable about showing up with his tractor after a storm.



So pretty!




I made sure the birds got lots of seed this morning.




This is not normally a walk-on feeder!!!




See that dark spot in the snow in the middle of the pic? That's a rock that sit on top of my birdbath, holding the heater in place. My entire birdbath is buried.



We've got some very large drifts!


I was just glad no power lines came down with all that wet, heavy white stuff.




Still, spring arrives next month!

  1. Wow, that's a lot of snow! I hope it doesn't all melt at once and cause flooding.

  2. I love all your photos, but it sure does look cold! Yikes!

    I wrote on my blog about how we are getting bees this spring, and Deb from Just Cats commented and said I should pop over and check out your blog since you know a lot about bees! I'm following you now via GFC and will have to look through your past bee posts :)

    1. Used the "stitch" feature on my camera first, which apparently did nothing. So I took a series of photos, and put them together in Photoshop!

  7. Wow, that's some snow fall Natalie......looks like everything has been spray painted white.
    You are lucky to have such a helpful neighbour........
    Stunning pics, but I can imagine how much you are looking forward to warmer weather.......
    Autumn has arrived, it's quite cool and windy today after some rain this week. Warmer temps
    are forecast for next week, but that's ok, the worst is over.....
