With that, our holiday mood has lingered. I had planned to take all the decorations down on Tuesday, but they look so pretty with the snow I decided to wait. We were blessed to be among the few that did not lose power. I think at one time on Monday there we 62,000 people in our area without and many still have not been restored. Honestly, I'm not sure how we managed to avoid it, but I'm grateful.

I never cared much for the Osmond's, but she did a pretty good
With the forecast as it is, I'm sure the next few days will be relatively the same. The birds have been very active at the feeders during the storm, and we've enjoyed watching them scatter about. The cardinals, especially, are so lovely against the backdrop of the snow.

Here in SW Idaho, we have had tons of rain. It rained most of November and December, then, January 1st, we got our first snow of the season, about half an inch. Since then, it's only been rain. We have hardly seen the sun since November.
P.S. You captured that cardinal beautifully!!
Thank you! Our yard is practically a bird sanctuary. I counted six cardinals at our feeders one day this week.
