Saturday, February 9



Two images -- one rather exagerating the amount of snow! Back in November, the snow was so pretty -- now we have had enough of it, and it's only mid-February. Seems to snow a little bit every day -- rather like the rain in England.
It has been snowing lightly all day, and not a bird to be seen although I heard chickadees, woodpeckers and a raven this morning when I got the paper. Two nights ago we were woken up in the middle of the night by wolves howling, not very far away. Eerie... According to Bill they must have been closing in for a kill. Deer? Most likely, we have an increasing population again, which bodes ill for the garden next Spring. We saw seven in a short stretch of highway just near the house last night at dusk, and our neighbour had eleven in his back yard a few days ago. They are beautiful animals, I have to say.
