Gosh, just as the early robins are making an appearance we’re having to shovel our roofs again! This is certainly one of the snowiest winters I can remember. Even with a few days of melting, the storms bring enough new snow to keep at least two feet on the ground.
Allie keeps the bird feeders topped off for the hardy birds and squirrels and their presence helps cheer our winter-weary hearts. Having originally come to Maine from a bit warmer locale, I’m longing for Spring in a big way. I find it hard to remain patient for the change of seasons, while still having to bundle up and shovel out. Yet, wait and be patient, I must!
How are you keeping your selves safe and sane as we wait for Spring?

For the first time ever, we got snowed in with this last storm for about 20 hrs. I have snow piles over 6′ tall along the drive, and can’t even get to some of my feeders!
I would rather have the piles of fluffy white stuff, however, than have a single temperature and season all year – I love the clear demarcations we get of the seasons here in Maine, and the moon reflecting off the newly fallen snow holds a special spirituality for me…
Keep warm you two!
Comment by Dianna February 25, 2009 @ 1:58 amI certainly agree about the moonlight on the snow as well as the wonderful demarcations of the seasons! However, our snow piles are gritty and grimy from being around so long. Around the feeders, they are completely covered in the shells of sunflower seeds! Hopefully, gentle rains will begin washing the snow piles away. Spring, is such a lovely thought!
Speaking of feeders, during the deepest part of the season we had Common redpoles and Pine siskins visit from Canada’s boreal forest. It is always a treat to see a new bird in the Winter!
