It is bitter tonight as we have a white-out storm and gale force winds. This is what is called a Lake Storm - and normally they do not hit us this hard. A fluke? Our whole winter has been a fluke, if that is the case.

Normally I can look out the side porch door and enjoy all the birds and squirrels at our feeders above the snow banks, but this year the snow is scant, and the flocks are many. The cardinals and Goldfinches have decided to stay over with us, along with a flock of sparrows, l3 Morning doves and 6 fat squirrels. They are adorable and go through seed at high speed in this weather. They come early in the AM. to feed and again around 3PM - just like clock work.

Will have to chip the ice off my car early AM tomorrow in order to do my errands. When you think of Sunny Calif. - think of me in Snowy Adirondack Mts. Oops. penmom
