GOLDFINCH

We've been enjoying the birds ever since we started tossing sunflower seeds out our sliding door.  Our feathered visitors have been limited to blue-jays, sparrows and chickadees, all ground feeders.

But now we have finches that love our dome feeder that keeps the big birds out. 

Yesterday we did an hour snowshoe hike into the back beaver ponds. Very easy to hike in snowshoes and if you go off trail you still stay on top of the snow.

After lunch Mary went ice-fishing. The only thing she caught was cold feet.

-21*C this morning, but we are toasty and warm beside our wood stove.

Today we are off to Burlington for a family gathering. See you shortly.

Safe travels everyone.
