It's Cold Outside!

The wind has been blowing so hard that there is no longer any snow piled up on the branches, but I thought I would post a few pictures taken before it was all blown away into big drifts. It's really not that nice for a walk outside and Piper and I are both going a little bit stir crazy!

So, we watch the birds and squirrels. This goldfinch is taking advantage of the banister banquet, getting a beak full of snow along with the sunflower seeds. 

The doves lined up overlooking the banquet table to make careful plans before gliding in for a treat. 

I think they're pretty framed by snow and branches. They have such warm, rosy brown feathers.
