Snow that amounts to anything and is profuse enough to whiten the ground is rare where I live. This morning we awakened to such a blanket of white. It is beautiful!
Clearly, the birds are also happy... happy with our backyard bird feeders on this snow day. The word has gotten out--however birds share these sorts of things*--and we're the happening place to be!
In other news on this fun snow day... (yes, even homeschoolers can have snow days...)
I had to make our big king-size bed around this remnant child, who had refused to vacate the warm family spot that all six of us had piled into when the alarms went off this morning!
The delicious breakfast our dad--who didn't have to go into work until 11:00--made us... pflintzen with filling and jam, bacon, and hot tea. Yum!

Homeschool on a cold snow day!
* My clever husband had called it "bird of mouth"--hence, the title of this blog post. Whatever it was, we're happy that the snowfall sent all the hungry birds in town to our feeders! Today I saw cardinals, finches (both house and yellow!), mourning doves, juncos, titmice, Carolina wrens, pine siskins, and red-breasted nuthatches, and a couple of species I don't even recognize. Our friendly chickadees and our lovely woodpecker stayed away today, for some reason. They're home staying warm, I hope, like the rest of us!
