A little bird…

This morning's "bird in our yard" seems to be the Golden Crowned Kinglet: at least that's what our bird ID gadget helped me figure out. I have no pictures of my own- they move too fast, and are too far away for the zoom on my phone- so I grabbed the pictures for this post [...]

Seasonal snowfall and a new comfy chair

We haven't had as much snow this year here at our home near Castlegar as usual. So it was no real surprise when we got a bit of a dump of the white stuff last Friday. Waking up to a marshmallow world is not entirely a bad thing. We also finally got that 'comfy chair' [...]
