Berry Buffet

Male and female Cardinals were back in our Bradford Pear trees
this afternoon feasting on the berries. Actually they aren't berries,
but small fruit that softens up in late fall. Whatever they are, the
birds love them. Blue Jays, Chickadees and Tufted Titmice were
also eating them as well. I love watching them, plus it makes for a
great photo opportunity :)

Christmas Time is Here Again

Ho Ho Ho!


Two of my favorite nutcrackers. UT of course :)


Chickadee


Crazy lights!

Patchwork Snow

Snow still covers the hills around our house. Everywhere else
it's almost melted. We may be in store for more winter precip.
Middle Tennessee is currently under a winter weather advisory.
It started to sleet while I was out taking pictures.


Patchy snow in the cornfield next to our house.

Snowy Barn

Going back to the winter of 1996 for this shot :)
From the sound of it we may be in for some more
winter weather tomorrow and tomorrow night.
Smith county is currently under a winter storm
watch!

Snowy Day in Smith County

We had our first measurable snow of the season yesterday and
last night. I'm guessing we got around 3" of the white stuff. Could
be more. It's way too cold to go outside and measure :) These are
some scenes from around my house. The funny thing is it's still
Fall! The official start of Winter is a week away.

O Christmas Tree

It's amazing what lights and ornaments can
do for an ordinary tree. We made a trek out
to the tree farm this afternoon and got a 9 ft.
spruce tree. Got it decorated just in time for
the Titans-Colts football game :) Can't believe
Christmas is just two weeks away!
