Another Mess

The photos were taken from inside the house of the cold snowy world outside our windows. The birds were lined up in the trees and railings waiting for their turn. Here a Cardinal telling a Titmouse that he is not ready to leave.

It snowed all day Sunday and sometimes so hard you could not see the white barn. In this photo you cannot see the hills behind the barn due to the falling snow.
It rained and rained on Saturday when Prince and I went to get our tree. I had to let it dry overnight before I decorated it on Sunday.
This year I thought I would use a big bow on top with streamers. The ribbon is gold with red ornaments on it. I used only glass balls with a few snowflakes this year to decorate the tree. Now it really smells like Christmas with the tree giving off the wintry green .

This morning when I awoke it was 11.3 degrees on the hill. We got a total of about 4 inches of snow and I thought the news paper guy would not have come, therefore, I put on boots, coat, gloves and earmuffs over my pj's and walked Maggie on a leach. Her usual start is to run out the door and down the hill for the paper.

When Prince left for work, he called and said the paper was there, so I told Maggie and off she went.

The kitty justice is Maggie was back up the hill with the paper before you could say "Paper."
