Well, winter in Georgia may be on the exit -- but winter in New England, particularly this portion of New Hampshire is here for quite a while longer. We are probably looking at another 2 full months anyways.
One thing about this time of the winter is that the sun starts to get a lot stronger. The front of our house faces the south, so we get the southern exposure in the late morning, early afternoon. On a good day, we will leave the front storm door open and it heats the kitchen area..... ahhh...nice.
On Sunday, the news kept saying that the southern part of NH was below zero... way below zero. Funny thing - we were at zero.. we were actually warmer for part of the day than the southern part of NH and Maine.. however, it didn't last long.. We have now been colder than Alaska. Alaska was 50 degrees last weekend, we were below zero.. hmm... so what about global warming.. does this mean New England is the new antartica? Hm.. I suspect one of these mornings on my walks with the dogs, I will come across a polar bear.. it wouldn't surprise me.
Our bird feeder has been a virtual hot bed of wings and feathers. We have had everything from woodpeckers to pine grosbeak - which are absolutely beautiful. The bluejays and cardinals are actually sharing the feed with the squirrels.. I have to fill the feeders every other day..
Mel goes for his follow-up visit today - so hopefully he will be able to start physical therapy. We are dreaming ahead of spring and fishing, hiking and anything that is not related to snow..
which we will get more of tomorrow.. but south will get more than us! :)
Love to you all.. stay warm... and watch out for polar bears.
