Snow/Birds

Snow is still a novelty in these parts of Western Washington.  I woke up to this scene today. 

 After feeding the cat, I head to the barn.  My boots were sinking at least 5 inches in powdery snow. 

On the way to the barn each morning I put out the bird seed and suet feeders.  I have a hungry crowd this morning, including a varied thrush who seems to just be observing.  I think these are one of the prettiest birds we have locally.  So, a snowed in day it will be.  Please don't let the power go out...my biggest fear during a storm.  Power service is really reliable, but still...
