Oh...SNOW!

In northern Kent County today, we woke up to some pretty amazing snowfall that happened quickly overnight - about 6 more inches!

Some schools closed. Our school went on a two-hour delay...I seriously wondered how the buses were ever going to make it through as only the very main roads were plowed. So I dropped my son off at school instead, and tooled around the back roads on the way home looking for photo opportunities.

I'm hoping to post a few images when I get them out of the camera as it really was very pretty as it draped onto the tree branches and shrubs. However, the sky was extremely dreary and gray, so it didn't make for postcard-perfect images I was hoping for.

So Easy - it's a Finch!

Here's a photo of a finch I took this morning. I was visiting the local farm market down the street. There were hundreds of these little guys having their breakfast in the rows of sunflowers!

It made my morning watching them happily flitting about the blooms.
