Snow and Sun on the Weekend


Julie: Well, the big snow we were expecting on Friday 
and Saturday did not come.
We got maybe 10cm(4in) of white,fluffy snow.
Mum likes that snow as it is light and easy to move.
She calls it broom snow because you could sweep
it away .


I watched rom the window as mum moved the snow.
 It did not take too long. She cleared a path to the birdfeeders
 and the steps down to the road.


On Saturday, the sun was shining so the snow melted
where mum shovelled .
Me, I watched her from this warm,sunny windowsill!


The mourning doves came before the sun came out.
They did not mind as they could still get the seeds.


When the sun came out, they did some sunbathing.


 No snow predicted for this week, but maybe sun and  rain!
Our Winters are not as cold as they were years ago.
Mum says that is OK. MOL!!!

It does seem like you've had a pretty mild winter. At least so far - there are always those surprise spring snowstorms!

We love the sound of mourning doves. :-)

We had a clear weekend, but the snow has just started as the biped types this. Three messy days ahead, with 10 - 15 cm total. Boohoo. C'mon, Spring!

Take care and have a great week.

Broom snow sure makes it easier but we still like no snow best sweet Julie!

That's a good spot from which to watch a human work, all right.

I want to thank you, Julie, and your mum, for visiting my blog when Josie died. My Chubs was indeed a sweetie. She's probably fit and hale now, no longer a chubs - but still a sweetie.

That was good news that you didn't get as much snow as expected, Julie.

That's a pawsome spot to snoopervise from! 4 inches isn't bad to deal with at all.

I’m glad you didn’t get the snow that was predicted, Julie. We’re actually having a bit of a warm up here..so a lot of our snow is melting.

Mommy said she LOVES Mourning Doves and she wishes she had some here again. The deer and squirrels ran off everyone and ate their food every day down to the last bite.

Julie, guess what? We had a dove who'd built a nest in a tree next to us just before we got that first snowstorm and single-digit temps. We can't imagine what she was thinking, it was way too early for that! During the snow she got off the nest and sat on a branch nearby. Eventually she left--we see the little egg but no doubt it was done for.

Love the mourning doves.

It’s literally 50 degrees Fahrenheit warmer here today than it was last week. That’s crazy.

We are glad you did not get a lot of snow. The poop area behind our shed is already clear.

We are so glad you had enough to enjoy but now too much to cause issue. Very cute birds and excellent work Snoopervising Mom from the window. A cats work is never done

We understand completely, Julie! We don't mind less harsh winters, either! XO

We are so happy that your snow was not too bad! Our winters are pretty much the same up here in the mountains, some years we have more snow than normal, other years less. We too love to watch the humans work in the cold while we are in the house! Have a marvellously Happy Day!
