Hummingbird! We have a hummingbird that always hangs around. If the feeder is empty or not up there he comes up to the window and stares us down. During this stretch of winter weather and super cold temperatures, the feeder kept freezing up. So, every couple hours we would thaw is out and put it back out there. I am sure he appreciated it. I don’t know how he survived when the weather was in single digits (negative when you consider wind chill). But, survive he did. I am happy to report he survived the coldness and we have seen him happily eating from the feeder since it warmed up.

Today we went for a walk and then built a snowman. It was snowing so much while we were outside. It was nothing short of awesome. And I haven’t built a snowman in awhile, so that was super fun as well.

SNOW!!! We finally got some snow. We didn’t really get any/much the last 2 winters, so it was nice to see a bunch of snow today. Our dog, Molly, loves the snow. She is about 10 years old now, but she runs around like a puppy when there is snow on the ground (does the same thing on sandy beaches). While running in the snow, she loves to dip her head down and scoop up snow in her mouth to eat. The result is her face is usually covered in snow, and her tongue is out in about half the pictures I took of her. I did get some nicer ones, where she is smiling and doesn’t have her tongue sticking out, but this one just made me laugh, so I choose it for my photo of the day.

The dude giving me the evil eye. Guess he wasn’t in the mood to pose for me today.
