It snowed almost 8 inches last week and the bitter cold seeped into every inch of exposed skin (there wasn't much exposed, that's for sure). This week I was overheating wearing just a long-sleeved shirt and enjoying doing homework while sitting on my roof in shorts. I'm a little confused...is it winter in the Northeast? Late summer on the Northern California coast? It sure doesn't feel like the mountains of Western North Carolina, yet here I am.
Here are some photos of recent birds and snow days (three days off school in a row, the first time Warren Wilson has canceled class due to weather in well over a decade, maybe ever!).

Northern Cardinal photo of the year. One of my goals of 2014 is to mega-crush
a NOCA. This is not a mega-crush, though it was taken in my backyard, and is
one of a very active pair, which means they are going to be hanging around
right here for awhile, let's hope they nest in my bushes!

my good friend Madalyn's farm in Prospect Hill, NC, up near the Virginia border.
