BIG FOOT!

Our smiling wind chime with bells (see post below) looked like BIG FOOT with icicle claws in the deck light last night. It's been snowing for 2 days now! ~N

This is April in Southern California??

The past few days have been sunny and getting warmer - we began to paw through the piles of clothes on the bed looking for our shorts. BUT this morning we woke to "white". The flowers, green grasses and meadow were covered with a couple of inches of snow. Throughout the day winds gusted and snows flurried. And the rusty old windchime we jokingly call our 'yak bells' was rimed with snow. ~B

Wings on our Window

We didn't hear the bang but woke up to this image left over from the collision with our window - one of the Stellar's Jays that begs for peanuts every morning (we're pretty sure).

And just as we were checking the grass below for any injuries - BANG!


A robin with a huge worm dangling from its beak, flew into the window and mashed the worm that seemed to pop and explode on the glass. The robin was just fine. It flew to a nearby tree, fluffed itself on a branch, still holding on to its breakfast - a little more tenderized perhaps? ~N
