Luke the cat demanded to go out in the snow. He's going to come back in with huge snowballs since he's doing his long haired cat impression at this time of year. His sister has been adamant in her no thank you. She's sleeping in the middle of my bed.

Due to some upcoming extended travel, and later a cross country move, I need to find a wonderful new home for Ruby (Black Australorp) and Bella (Golden Laced Wyandotte), both 5-years-old, near the Portland, OR and SW Washington area. They have a great life now, with a large enclosed outdoor run and the option to free-range on 5 acres. I want to find them a forever home where they will be loved and treated really well for the remainder of their natural lives.

All ok, cold but ok
so that was the longest we have been without power here 13 hours. It was fine but I feel bad for folks with no wood stove.
The heave snow caused trees and limbs to go down, there were downed power lines in Jefferson County. So a lot of folks without power, in all of Western Wa.
I did get a few pics with the camera yesterday around 7:30am, it snowed all day. I did NOT go outside, except to swap out the humming bird feeder, it kept freezing. I put a coat hanger up by the feeder for him, he sat on it all day guarding the feeder. I had to put a second feeder out cuz he wouldn't let the female have any.

It is currently 14 out on the porch,, the wind is suppose to pick up. the road is a sheet of ice, all of the neighbors are walking from the bottom of the hill up to their home. DH said he was glad he left the car at the bottom. The road out to 101 is a sheet of ice also.
And it will be like this for the next week or more.

these are yesterday around 7:30am








I dont know how he survives,, he has been here all year, every year (maybe not the same one) for 9 years. this is the first year a female stayed.

I have 3 feeders I keep rotating out, he likes the coat hanger to sit on

hese are Anna's hummingbirds, we normally stay between 35 and 42 through to the end on Ja. and dont really get cold until late Jan. & Feb.



In late March through May the Rufous hummingbirds show up,


Every year starting in late Feb. I keep 4 feeders on the front porch for the males and 4 at the back living room window for all the girls and babies. Last year there were 10 Rufous babies and 8 Anna's.


I keep one of these hanging for them to build their nest with,

12f is a lot of snow, you must live up high where they get 12feet

It is cold here 22.. To make more sense of this. Remember last summer the heat wave .. This too is the alternative .. I remember the year we moved here.. Snowed like this we where in Maple Valley .. Ma worked in downtown Seattle .. had a 3/4 ton GMC. She drove that in had big landscape rocks in the back for weight.
