We had another snow on Tuesday, probably an inch or so here. By Wednesday there was a coat of ice on the snow that had fallen and it was a bit trecherous walking the dog.

It's interesting because squirrels are always burying their food. Whenever I dig soil, I find peanuts that they have hid in the soil. The thing is they seem to forget where they have buried them.
So this little factoid fascinated me:
What kind of wildlife are you seeing in your garden?
Wishing you a safe and happy weekend!
i used to have a dogwood tree in my front yard...in fall after leaves dropped it would be loaded with red berries....for a few days the tree would be full of birds...once they got them all it was just bare branches until spring....amazing how God provides for them...

ReplyDeleteI usually wait to clean out the old dried stalks until the Spring. I thought I was lazy gardener but I guess not! ;) We see everything at our feeder and fill in constantly all winter too.
