There may never be enough Thyme in the garden but there is, at thymes, more than enough snow. This birdhouse just outside our kitchen window, is closed for the season. I was watching a few Chickadees trying to get into it today. I realised that they were the only birds I had seen in our garden for quite some time. They are hardy and appear to thrive in the cold when there seems to be no water or food for them. They travel in happy little gangs, flitting from one tree to the next, poking here, nibbling there, and doing a lot of it up-side-down. Of course they are happy. They don't have to shovel snow.Sunday, December 21, 2008

Looks like you got quite a bit more snow than we did...although ours may have simply blown away.
Yes, ours is not blowing much, but after watching the news, I see that your snow is! It is amazing how it is a different world only a few miles away.
