the first snow of the season continues to linger.  more than a week later, new snowfall is adding to the already present 16 inches.  lots of snow.

this week i was able to witness turkeys scratching for bird food.  after munching corn, they wandered along until they came to the edge of the lake.  since the lake is frozen, they continued to walk across the lake.  then up the far bank and disappeared into the woods.

the winter birds, like the wee juncos, are busily visiting the thistle feeders.  for the ground feeding birds, what lands on the snow is dinner!

it's been so very cold that the outdoor cats have been invited to be inside.  the house is full of fur but everyone is safe and warm.

television programming is currently replete with sappy christmas movies.  i've seen them all!  and watched old favorites again.
