The Blizzard and the Flu arrived at the same time...

Court and I have been struck by the nasty flu bug (and a cold for me, as well)... but I had to grab the camera and take a few shots of the beautiful blizzard while it was still "picture postcard white."


It seems that Mr. J loves to bury his little muzzle in the snowbanks whenever he goes out. Is he too cute or what?


Baby, who is strictly an indoor kitty, was allowed a closely supervised visit to the deck so she could experience snow for the first time. We thought she would immediately head for the house at the first feel of this cold, wet stuff....


But she did not want to come in. She absolutely loved every minute of being out in it, digging and jumping and just taking in the beauty of it all!


The bird feeder when I got up the morning of the blizzard...


I don't think even the heartiest of birds are going to be able to dig down through that to reach the seed. After taking this photo I brushed it off and the feathered friends arrived in minutes.


The deck chairs don't look very inviting right now. At least not to this non-snow lover.


We won't be eating on the deck for quite some time I'm afraid.


But oh, how beautiful it is.


However, if this is the last snow of the season, I can't say I'll be sorry.


Perfect weather for hunkering down and taking a long winter's nap, especially when you're feeling under the weather.
Now to go take some Flu & Cold medicine...
Hope you are all warm and feeling good wherever you are...

In like a lion... and feeding a cold...

In true New England fashion, March came in like a lion, dumping over 12" of snow on us... We had just started to see the bare ground again, while basking in the warmth of 50 degree temps...

It snowed all through the night... This is what the bird feeder looked like when I got up this morning. I used a wooden spoon to push off the 12+ inches of snow so the birds could get at the seed...


And I'm sick... Blech... In the end, none of the 'fancy' medicines work any better than generic aspirin for getting rid of the chills, aches, and pains...


Hope wherever you are, you're staying cozy and warm!!!
