Snow Bullets

So far, today, as of 9:05 am:

• Gus and Cotton have been outside 3 times since 7 am
• I've taken 75 or so pictures ( lovelovelove digital). the cardinal below is for Merry, sorry it's fuzzy

• I have enjoyed two mugs of warm, rich steaming coffee
• Gus has enjoyed two green, ripe, creamy avocados stolen from the counter

• I made an english muffin with cream cheese and lemon curd
• I took pictures from the front step before any cars went down my street
• 5 people + their 8 or so dogs have been down my street, probably to the park.  We are going for a walk, too, but not yet

• 2 cars have been down my icy, snow crusted street - one was the newspaper man - his car had a 2 foot pile of snow on top and he was riding along with the windows down.  BRRRRR
• Lots of birds ar enjoying the feeders.  Glad I had the presence of mind to fill it yesterday, and put a few cups on the ground

• I'm watching snow fall off the branches of the trees when the wind blows, or a bird lands
• I was surprised by the bluebird that appeared at the suet feeder, and he's back right now
• All my friends have visited: both woodpeckers, the towhees, the tufted titmouses, a sparrow, blue jays, doves, a mockingbird

• Snow in the South is magical, but it is also scary.  I'm thankful that enough fell to be beautiful but didn't bring down tree limbs and then power lines
• The dogs are barking, I bet the black cat is on the prowl
