We had a real cold snap here this week. Low teens and single digit temperatures and slow, but steady, snow accumulation. Today was a bit warmer and as I went out to get the mail a beautiful cardinal was sitting on our bird feeder. My presence sent him off to the bush near the road and there was no way he was going to let me get very close. But I did get this shot of him.
I found these at the grocery store and couldn't resist them. Last year the tulips lasted nearly a week so here's to a few days of looking at spring--at least in the dining room.
