The Owls are Nesting!

Owls begin nesting in the Northeast in mid-February. :-)

  1. Mah*Sweetie and I went to a Composting Workshop today! Afterward we walked through the beautify greenhouse and shop (different location of the same garden center we love). What I realised is that one of the reasons I need to walk through a greenhouse is the super high leave of oxygen in there! Wow!!

  2. We look to have about 12"--and more coming. Nancy thinks we'll get about 18"--yikes! She's already making plans to get Elmer to dig us out. . . . Going to be about 7 degrees warmer tonight than it is now. . . .

    1. Warmer weather (32F) has already arrived here. Not enough to melt the snow, and I believe more is predicted for tomorrow night. Then colder again.

      I'm tired of winter. But it won't last forever.

    2. puddle, another blessing upon Nancy. ♥

      And, yow, that's a lot of snow for youse~!
      It's free insulation on your roof and around your foundation, as long as both hold. ;-)


      Bill, we are looking forward to warmer temps tomorrow too! Whoo hop!
      If the roof doesn't leak, we'll be tickled with the day. :-)

  3. Looks like we're up to 18". . . . And alas, my house is up on stilts, lol! I'd need about four feet of snow to get the floor insulated. . . .

  4. No weather here to compare to what you folks are enduring, certainly. I came down with what seems to be a moderately nasty cold; I don't recall having one for years. Taking it easy today.

    Received my hardback copy of [the English translation of] Max Beer's "The Life and Teaching of Karl Marx." Interestingly it has no copyright imprint, publication date or printing number, but I know it was first printed in 1921. The book is in good condition, but might well be pre-WWII. For actual study a paper book is SO much better than an e-book.

    listener-- is February when owls in your neck of the woods expect to find lots of delicious little mice scampering over the snow?

  5. Alan, no, I'd say we most often have snow and bitter cold in February here. A few rodents might scamper around from time to time, but this time of year I wouldn't be surprised if owls mostly prey on birds until something furry presents itself.

    Good for you taking care of yourself!
