HUMMING BIRDS IN NOVEMBER SNOW STORM

Today we were amazed to see some visitors who I'm sure must be very much 'out of season' here on the Puget Sound, WA. It is 23 degrees farenheight/ feels like 9F with wind - in plain English that is -12 Celsius outside. At one point after the first power outage, I was a bit concerned our freezers would defrost if the power stayed off too long ( we made a group decision we could throw the frozen Thanksgiving Turkeys we are 'hosting' in the snow until the power came back on if they began to defrost!!!). For now though, we are all systems go and all power is on again!

We have had at least 5-8 inches of snow and is still falling.......... love it... the power outages allowed Elijah and Esther to have some serious fun with our torches (flash light to the Yanks) ... Thank God we had some candles 'in house' and nice smelly ones too. What a fantastic day, watching the most amazing flakes of snow fall as a backdrop to some beautiful humming birds feeding from outside our living room window. The last 3 were taken from outside balancing on a chair about a foot away from feeder; the humming bird didn't even notice me stood there, waiting for him to come and feed... God you make all things well........ I love you X
