The Great Frozen Tundra

 No, it isn't really the frozen tundra, but it looks and feels a little bit like it! 



This sweet vole ventured out of its comfy burrow under the cedar roots to grab a sunflower seed. It would peek out, find a seed and dart back to safety again. 


This one had to tunnel under the snow to get to the seed stash beside Madame Cardinal! 


The bay has frozen over and the snow covered ice does make it look like a great expanse of frozen tundra. Tonight the wind came up and scoured some of the snow off and it's beginning to resemble a giant skating rink (people actually do skate across to the island).

We had a day of cold and sunshine, too. It's always so uplifting this time of year to get a day of blue sky and sun. We're back to gray today and there's freezing rain and snow in the forecast. At least it's a little warmer and the days are lengthening!
