One of my favorite things about winter is the presence of Juncos in the garden on a daily basis. They are such lovely and interesting birds. And yes, I actually do like winter, lol. A time for me to take a hiatus from the gardening and enjoy the earth at rest. I love the hiss of thickly falling snow and the utter silence and piercing blue sky of a clean sunny morning after a snow storm. And I love sitting in the hide listening the birds arrive at the feeders and indentifying them by song and chatter.... And, its a good thing I feel this way because we've had more than three feet of snow in January and are supposed to get another two feet tomorrow and Wednesday...
