March in Like a Lion!

March started with a loud roar in our neck of the woods, we have had a winter storm with rain, ice and SNOW!

We had a tree on the side of the house loose its top, it was by God's grace that the falling limbs missed the side of the house by a few inches. Eric had no more said "I hope we don't have any trees fall and hit the -" That was a far as he got when we heard the thud of the fallen limb. Here is a picture of the topless tree I took this morning.



Here is the part that fell...

The kids didn't want to go outside to play in the snow (crazy huh!), so I only have pictures of the birds. Here is a female Cardinal, she was very aggressive with the other birds about getting her share of the seed.

Did I mention it was also windy!

We had some bird seed down in the basement, so I had Eric open the back door and pour out a couple of cups of seed for the birds.

Waiting patiently for their turn to eat...

More from the waiting area...

This is a picture of our driveway and street! Eric did clear off the sidewalk and drive way this afternoon, while doing so our neighbor got his truck stuck in our ditch and had to be pulled out.

A Cardinal sharing nicely with a House Finch

Maybe not so nice with the Red-winged Blackbird...

So Mr. Cardinal went to the waiting area...

The snow finally stopped this afternoon, I think we have about 8" of snow. So March defiantly came in like a lion!
