Snow Storm #3

Things to remember.

A rose bush, some echinacea and a butterfly bush.

Having grown up in Georgia, I don't foresee that the novelty of snow will wear off anytime soon, even after the abundance of it we've had this season. But I know plenty of people who have just plain had it. If you're snowed out of your happy place, I have two suggestions:

Feed the birds—you'll be amply rewarded, even entertainingly so. The parade at our feeder and scattering of seed so far has included jays, grackles (much squabbling!), red-winged blackbirds, a red-headed woodpecker, a flicker, mourning doves, juncos, crows, cardinals and more. And squirrels, of course, but not as many as I'd expected.

Also, I'm pretty sure today's a day for this. I'm thinking chorizo.
