Picture of the Day for April 12, 2013

Mother Nature is playing a late April Fool Day joke. It is snowing and I thought the saying was April showers bring May flowers. I have no clue what April snow brings besides cussing and sore backs from shoveling the heavy, wet snow. It definitely is not bringing flowers but it has brought a lot of birds to the feeders (and other critters too).

I probably should have posted a flower picture but maybe by giving the snow its coverage as the picture of the day, it can go hibernate for a while and let spring come!

Cruel Joke!

Picture of the Day for March 5, 2013

The only color one can see today will be the man toys clearing the snow as even the pine trees are white. But since I don’t have a ‘big boy toy’ to clear my driveway and there is a lot more snow to remove than what is in this picture, the green color of my little toy will be white with the wind blowing the snow and since I have no cozy cab on my snow-blower  I will be white too!

There are not too many red wildflowers and red is not too common in the winter either, unless you catch a glimpse of the Northern Cardinal. Although some people might chew out the cardinal out for bringing the snow, I think the cardinal is just smarter than some people and will stock up on food before the snow flies. And the snow has started to fall today so I wonder if the cardinal stocked up enough.

During courtship, the male feeds seed to the female beak-to-beak, but I bet he wants to be waited on once the honeymoon is over!
