The Day After Tom's Birthday...January 20, 2019

As I wrote in my last blog, January nineteenth was a horrible day. For most of the day we had rain, turning to ice when it hit the roads and trees and lawns.  Late in the day, the rain turned to snow.  By morning we had about five inches of powdery snow on top of ice. The temperature had fallen to 9 degree Fahrenheit. For people like us who had no reason to venture out, the world was beautiful.  The sun shone and all the trees and bushes glittered with ice.  Tom took all the photos in this blog.


This is my favorite of the ice covered branch photos..  Click on it to enlarge it.


This Carolina Wren is cozy under his puffed up layers of feathers.


Tom was focused on the cardinal.  He didn't notice that a house sparrow had done a photo bomb until he looked at the  picture on the computer.


These are the neighbor boys who made some pocket money clearing off drives for us old folks.
