Great Backyard Bird Count . . .

It's that time again . . . 
the Great Backyard Bird Count is happening
February 16-19, 2024

We were all ready yesterday, feeders were freshly filled, pen and pad of paper sitting by the window seat anticipating who would visit the garden.
It's been a very quiet so far which has surprised me
as yesterday we had snow and I thought everyone would be hungry!
 I have however been cooed by a pair of lovely turtle doves while drinking my tea.
Hopeful the weekend will bring more birds into the garden.
Speaking of snow . . . 
we were pretty excited to see the white stuff yesterday (it's been a very mild winter). 
While my husband shoveled last night, I made us a lovely little snow person to sit on our garden bench.
He's only tiny, so no scarf, but he needed something, so I wove some garden vines into a wreath. 
It was too dark to take a photo, I will head out later and take one ;-)
I'm very happy to say that I am the Cover Artist for The Country Register of Ontario.
 
"Warming Station" 
is on the cover of the February/March 2024 issue.
Thank you so much to publisher Harriet Ramos for choosing & supporting my art! 

 Happy birding
& have a wonderful weekend

Lovely post 🙂. Good luck with your bird count, and look forward to seeing your little snow person. No snow where I live, but plenty of rain 🤧. Hugs. Xx
