You have probably noticed that I haven't bought myself a new camera yet. Life has been so busy lately that many trivial things have been put on the back burner. But since Mother's Day and my birthday aren't too far apart maybe I'll find one under my pillow soon. ;-)
Yesterday's snow has almost disappeared and now we have fresh snow and freezing rain falling. I can't believe I am even writing this. We are SO DONE with winter in these parts but still it comes. I actually dreamed of our lilac bushes being in full bloom last night.
The poor red-winged blackbirds sat around the feeders, covered in snow, looking confused. The starlings, black-birds & crows took over the buffet area all day today leaving little food for the smaller birds.
We had a couple of large visitors to the feeding areas early this morning.
Later, when I looked out the back window, I could see about fifty more turkeys in the distance.
Simon never stuck his head out of his hidey-hole once today.

I try to imagine his home...toasty warm, lots of dry bedding, a full pantry of last fall's nuts, seeds and apple cores all lined up in a row. He looks like a neat little fellow to me. What I'd love to see is a little friend join him this spring.
I have been baking like Anna Olsen these days. Some for the freezer but most going out to a much-needed fundraiser for a local cat rescue. I have known the owner and founder of this rescue for 20 some years now. She is the one that never says "no", always finds a safe place for any stray or injured cat and is the best cat-trapper I have ever known. I love this lady...she is the 'real deal'. I always want to help if I can.
I'm hoping this will be her best fundraiser yet. =^..^=
