Snow Day!

It snowed today! It snowed on the dog.

And it snowed on me.

This red topped pileated woodpecker made so much noise and danced around from one branch to another in the apple tree at the end of my driveway. He seemed so pleased to have found all those apples after our recent deep freeze and today's new snow storm. With my steps silenced by several inches of fresh, powdery snow, I was able to freely walk around under the apple tree and take plenty of photos without disturbing his feeding frenzy.

It was an absolutely perfect day to cook up a winter's worth of soup to share with friends.

Frigid gusts out of the Northeast have started blowing again and with even more snow in our forecast, they now add that we may have a white Christmas this year! Ho, ho, ho.
