Today is the first official day of Winter but we have had snow on the ground and cold temperatures for most of the month so it’s not a big adjustment for us. December 21, the Winter Solstice is also the shortest day and longest night of the year.

Our New Resident
Looks like someone new just moved into one of the pine trees in the back yard. We have seen this big bird in and around the yard for the past week. So far, we haven’t noticed a decrease in the chipmunk population but lets hope they read this post and keep an eye on the sky.

Spring Is In The Air
For those of us in the hills of Columbia County, Winter can last well into April and we never know when the last snow of the season might happen. For this reason, we hold off until Memorial Day until doing any annual plantings in the yard. For now, we are focusing on the yard cleanup, which is extensive after a harsh winter that left tree limbs and branches everywhere.
During the cleanup, I uncovered this little patch of purple flowers.
