Snow.....again!

We had our second snow storm in a matter of a few weeks.  This one produced more snow (and ice) than the last one.  Everything shut down in Charlotte so we have been at home today and will be home tomorrow too.  After the snow and sleet freezes on the streets tonight we should have some good sledding hills tomorrow!  Today's snow was so fluffy that we couldn't even make a snowman.  I think we'll be able to do better tomorrow.  If I can stay out in the cold long enough to make a snowman!  Baby it's COLD outside! 

I'm obsessed with the cardinals in our backyard.  There are 4 or 5 bright red males.  They are beautiful.  Especially against the white snow background.  I stalked them all day today and took probably 25 pictures of them.  I'll spare showing all of them to you and will pick some of my favorites. I wasn't thrilled that it snowed again but I can't do anything about it so I might as well enjoy it!

 Such an appropriate flag  :-)

 The birds love my new feeder

 Close up at our window sill.  He's so cool.

 We finally abandoned the sled because it was SOOOO COLD!

 Belle wouldn't pose.  She just likes to eat the snow.

 I stalked this bird all day to get this shot.  He kept landing on the edge of the deck and as soon as I could get the camera he flew away.  But this time I got him!

3 cardinals in 1 picture.  There were 4 but 1 flew away.  There's one on a branch in the left of the picture, one on the deck and one in a branch in the right side of the picture.  Love it!
