Snowy Day

 Indy sometimes thinks there're squirrels in the tree when there really aren't

 More red polls. They are really gregarious and brave little birds.  We like them a lot.
 This one is on a post near our driveway.  It's more decorative than anything.

 This is the new owl house, with treehouse style ladder steps nailed to the tree. 

This is a little wren house that gets some use.  There is a wasp nest in it right now that I need to clean out before the new breeding season begins.  Mom and Dad H got this one for us.

 This is our bluebird house that usually houses tree swallows.  They must not read the same bird books that I do.

 Another little wren house.

Indy LOVES the snow!  She walks through it munching on it like a water buffalo. 

I'm just about ready for a new season to start. 

Another birdhouse from Mom and Dad H. 

Another brave little red poll posing for a picture. 

This is a sign that I grabbed from the junk pile at camp at the end of the summer.  Always in my memories. 

This might be our original bird feeder... might be second generation.  At any rate, it's a favorite of our birds.

Great Pic! I love the snowy day pictures - just not so much the snowy days...We had to stop feeding the birds because the squirrels were tearing up the feeders in their feeding frenzy. I like them, but can't afford to feed them! I agree with Eleftheria - where is the guesthouse? Maybe a project for your Dad? Enjoy his visit. I'm counting the days till Mom's day! Love you both:-)

Don't worry, I'll have the tractor moved out of the "guesthouse" by the time you and Ian get here ;-)
