What a treat to see them instead of snow!<BR/><BR/>Hi Ruth,<BR/>I'm sorry and I agree--it's very unfair! You must just cringe when you read my posts and think to yourself, "Oh swell, we'll be getting that same crap in a couple days!" Hopefully your Saturday and Sunday will be nicer though--it won't be very warm, but the sun should be out!RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-8816650042459505092008-01-31T08:35:00.000-06:002008-01-31T08:35:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-66275829900688594472008-01-31T06:50:00.000-06:002008-01-31T06:50:00.000-06:00The trouble with your bad weather is that when you...The trouble with your bad weather is that when you are done with it, you send it east to us.

But hopefully that means beautiful flowers in the spring. We've also had some cold temps, but certainly not as cold as you and your "northern" blog buddies. I loved hearing your chimes in the video. I could listen to them all day long. Stay warm!Mary Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077077785157768787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-3959531949953245172008-01-30T22:00:00.000-06:002008-01-30T22:00:00.000-06:00Brrr.

I never even went back out after I got home. Fortunately, there was enough birdseed in the ground trays that the birds were finding enough to eat. The chimes got quite a workout, but it's calmer and sunny today.<BR/><BR/>Hi Jayne,<BR/>I think the only thing that would stop people from driving is when they finally put the barricades up across the road. We're kinda nuts up here!<BR/><BR/>Hi Cathy, <BR/>The chimes are big and too heavy to take down, so I get to listen to them year-round and I do love them.<BR/><BR/>Hi Meggie,<BR/>I'm glad you had a nice time in Florida before coming back to winter. Our airport here was closed most of the day--you must have made it in before the snow arrived.<BR/><BR/>Hi Richard,<BR/>I think you've had much colder temps than we had. Your feeders must be close if you can sneak out in a bathrobe!
