<\/a><\/p>\nWell, this is what we found the morning of February 12. Snowville, U.S.A. The birds were queued up at the feeder in droves and we decided we weren’t driving anywhere for a day or three. We had plenty of food in the house and plenty of birdseed so there was no need to go anywhere.<\/p>\n

EATING LIKE BIRDS<\/h3>\n
How the birds keep warm is beyond us.

To cope with the cold, Camille took possession of Bob’s fleece bathrobe and re-learned how to type in knit gloves. That afternoon our neighbors walked through the snow with food and we celebrated. We lost power for two hours before dinner and so heated our beans up in Rachel and Scott’s propane oven.<\/p>\n After a few days in the 60 degree range we thought we had winter behind. That’s about when we woke to find our world buried in snow – February 12 and 13, 2014 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n GOOD MORNING <\/p>\n \n Well, this is what we found the morning of February 12. Snowville, U.S.A.
