In the morning they would call to each other. Beautiful songs. It's 45 degrees and sunny today in Estes Park. But we wish it would snow. We need the moisture so badly. Thanks for sharing your lovely photos of the cardinal.

It should be framed. Brrrr. That's a lot of snow. So sorry you fell in the driveway. I'm glad you didn't injure yourself, but I bet you are sore. How brave of you to drive in all of that snow. I'd just have to go crazy with cabin feaver. There's no way I could drive in that. Yep! You need to come to Ark., where we think it's cold if the temps dip into the 40's!

Remember I painted the trim on our home red? Well, we were so tired that we left the window trims and garage trim brown..so..finally..today I went out and masked off the front window and painted it red.<br />YIPPEE! Just have the garage and front window to do. The shutters were done when we painted the trim!<br />NO snow, no cold weather and the rain has gone East. :)Wsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-21137531999144630982013-01-31T16:42:06.505-06:002013-01-31T16:42:06.505-06:00Cindy dear, this is such a pretty post.

Perhaps in Northern California, but I have never seen one.<br />We do have Mexican Blue Jays and those are so entertaining.<br />Do be careful out there on the road. Looks very treacherous to me.<br />I just read a previous post and had NO idea your sweet Mom had had a stroke. I am on medication to thin my blood so I (hopefully)won't have one. It's not one bit fun to get older and have to worry about such things.<br />Not that she knows who in the world I am, but please send her my best wishes, will you. <br />I know she and I have been in the same boat at one time..and it's isn't easy. <br />You take care of yourself too as being a caregiver can be very stressful!<br />Love and hugs,<br />MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453105784166847940.post-57707584114651277642013-01-31T15:39:18.305-06:002013-01-31T15:39:18.305-06:00Oh he is beautiful!!

Your roads, though, are horrible!!! When do they plow? I'm glad you arrived home safely and hope you don't have bruises from your falls. We had terrible winds in the night. Lights flashed and more trees fell, but no real damage. 50s yesterday, snow tomorrow!
