Hello and happy New Year to all in #hive world.
2025 started with a bang beginning with a wonderful party with my family and friends at the farm. I actually made it until midnight, first time in a few years that I saw the ball fall in NYC,( on the TV,) as we counted down to the beginning of a brand-new year.
Fingers crossed, with hope in my heart, this will be a banter year.
Our friend @nelinoeva is at it again, grabbing our attention for the #featheredfriends community contest #smap.
This week we have a free theme, if it's got feathers, snap a few pictures and join the fun.
It's winter here in Upstate New York and it's been a white wonderland for weeks now. The lake effect snow storms have been heavier this year with snowfall every night, dropping anywhere from 1 inch to 6 inches. The temperature drops into the single digits most nights, sometimes below zero.
Of all the birds that stick around in the north during the cold months, my favorite is the Northern Cardinal, they don't seem to mind the cold.
I must admit, I shovel my front porch each morning and put out seed to bring in the bird activity.
Besides the cardinals, black capped chickadees and bluejays join in, enjoying the breakfast I serve.
