nobody's perfect


49 geese flew due north over our house today ~ going home to Canada for the summer I suspect!
Not quite a 'v' formation ... more like a checkmark!

....and they told 2 friends

and so on and so on .....

More visitors in the apple tree today.  I can't tear myself away from the kitchen between watching the snow fall and waiting to see what new hungry bird drops down to devour the very last 2 apples still on the branches.  I have to take pictures through the window from inside since I realized yesterday that stealth is not one of my strong points.  I tried to go out onto our deck more than once but couldn't get more than a step or two before every bird on the block took to flight.  As you can guess, I'm not getting much knitting done :)    ~ Melissa

Winter Visitors

Rare Seattle snow this weekend brought some interesting critters to our neighborhood ~ I think they must love frozen apples!


Time to get the bird book out ~ I know the big guy is a woodpecker of some sort but the beauty in the bottom picture is a mystery!   ~ Melissa
