Welcome to Iceland


With WINTER
stretching through April...

we are all wondering
if this is South Dakota
or
Iceland??


  

last week's storm
gave everything a glassy appearance

and held anything thinking
about budding
in an icy clutch...


 



the Sall Farm "Get-n-Go"
was a busy spot
as the poor little travelers
had to do something to keep warm...










Goldfinches, House finches,
juncos, sparrows,
and black birds
were all taking
their turn...

 


even a lonely hen pheasant
passed through,
but she was too
impatient to wait in line...

I think she headed straight
for the restroom and left!









travel conditions are ugly 
these days,
but if you do happen to pass
though our neck of the woods...

forgive our dumb-founded
look of bewilderment..


for this just isn't 
normal spring weather
for us!!

Have a great weekend,
Lisa

My bird feeders looked about the same...icy and same birds except for the goldfinch and the yellow heads.
Will it ever end?

No doubt about it! You got dumped with snow and ice big time . . . unbelievable. Love your "fruffled" up Purple Finch! We have had many Redpoles this year but I have never seen a Purple Finch at our feeders. Each day I think winter is over and then more freezing temperature with snow flurries . . . will it ever end!?

Wow! I'm sure you're tired of it, but the ice in your photos is beautiful! Last year we were quite warm in March, but this year the cooler weather is just being stubborn. We don't have it as bad as you, though.

I'm sure everyone's Spring has been
a bit on the weird side.

Your photos are really stunning, but I know what you're feeling because when we lived in Alaska, I felt it too.

Beautiful photos! We too have snow here, but it's not near as pretty as yours. It's just cold.

Awesome photos. I especially like the one with the birds at the feeder and it's snowing. It's just not right I know. We've had temps below freezing at least 2 days per week for the past 3 weeks and this week they are predicting another for Tuesday.And we've had days up to 90! My peonies are nearly 3 feet tall and loaded with blooms. I have to keep covering them. It's just crazy all over.

Oh my goodness you've really had it bad with the "white stuff" lately. I sure hope it's improving for you. - Some lovely photo's though.
