Happy New Year's Day

It is very cold today. At 5 am it was 1 degree. The best thing is the sun is out. That gives a real lift to the spirit. Right now with the sun directly on the thermomenter it is 24. It is still very windy so the wind chill factor is very low. The snow yesterday did not amount to much. We got less than an inch. Just enough to have to scrape the driveway so we don't end up with ice!

The birds are very busy at the feeder this morning. So far I have seen numerous gold finches, two titmice, chickadees, a lone junco and a smart red squirrel who is getting a good meal from the seeds that get dropped. One little chickadee came right up on my porch as if asking for a handout.

For the first time this winter I have seen deer tracks in the snow. So the wildlife is alive and well here in Windham!

Wishing you all a happy, healthy, peaceful, prosperous New Year!
