And no, not the Olympics.
I don't really care that my calendar is saying it's the 13th of December and not the 21st. I don't care if the winter solstice is still more than a week away. Sunrise to sunset, it bothers me not a bit that today still is not the shortest day of the year. As far as I'm concerned, it's winter! The snow blanket sticking to all the evergreens in a winterland delight, the temperatures pretty solidly encased in the 30's or below each morning and snowplows awakening me at 3 AM as they run the hill by the house are all determiners in my book of the season change. I say; it's winter. Deal with it. Oh, and my birdfeeders need refilling sooner. When my feeders are active areas it's cold or a storm is on the horizon.
Bank on it.
Brisk chickadee action breeds winter.
I've got to load my feeders again this morning.
Enjoy the season change.
There's no avoiding it.
Play by the rules.
Winter it is.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like winter...
ReplyDeleteYikes! And we're not even to Dec. 21st yet! I feel sorry for those poor birds caught in that deep freeze and all that snow.
ReplyDeleteYep, it's winter here too. No doubt about it.
ReplyDeletenice you provide for them. (and the squirrels!) haha.
ReplyDeletePretty! I like to see your winter, from afar. Your yard birds are lucky to have you.
ReplyDeleteWow a true winter wonder land! & I see you keep your chickadees well fed.
ReplyDeleteI definitely enjoy winter too, though I find I complain about it a lot by the end of it. I think the remedy for me is moving to a more scenic/natural environment to a home with a fireplace.
That is quite a lot of snow it seems. Those feeders have huge hats on!
ReplyDeleteIt looked just like that here on Thursday but we are into melting mode now. A beautiful winter pic!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt's been winter in my book for what seems like weeks.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful winter shot. I'm glad you feed the birds. But I guess I'd expect nothing less from someone called Birdman.
You are making me crave Maine.
ReplyDeleteYou see, it's RAINING here. I know it's still autumn but I've had enough of RAIN... :-)
(Do I sound annoyed?!)
Who cares what the calendar says. It IS winter up there.
ReplyDeleteI wish we had snow here. Just cold and dry. Nice photo.
