So last weekend, we had 80 km. per hour winds along with a few centimeters of snow for a truly delightful prairie blizzard! It was mostly gone in a few days, however yesterday and the day prior, a second storm arrived, sans the wind, thank goodness! It was a very wet snowfall, mid-calf deep.

The robins seemed not to mind however. Around a dozen or so congregated in our crabapple tree to sample last fall's delights, which are no doubt somewhat fermented by now. You can see him contemplating one more apple for the road (in the upper right hand corner).




Another even tried out the berries on the mountain ash. Nice color coordination, don't you think?
We farmers don't mind the extra moisture though. Spring should be back by the weekend.
