Last week as I was lying down for a nap, I got a call from neighbor, Lynn. She ask me if my camera was handy and I answered it was. She had just seen one of the larger woodpeckers in her front yard. I rushed over and spent about 10 minutes circling the tree to get a good picture. The pileated woodpecker is shy and spends most of his time in the wooded area near our house. He is a beautiful bird.

What a beautiful snowy night I saw it after work at midnight.
Next day, Friday, Feb. 8, the school closed. Oh! It was my lucky day off. First, I asked Jerry to get snow pictures. See! my beautiful Phalaenopsis and delicious Hershey’s Cookies’Creme candies which my co-worker, Marlene gave to me as a gift for Valentine’s Day. We took snow pictures around my house and my neighbors before the sun came up, and the snow melted. I like to see snow on the trees, the ground, and the roof. Then, Jerry shoveled the snow on the sidewalk and driveway. He liked the snow and played it. He threw the snow in the air. I like snow pictures, but I can not stand cold weather. I am waiting, waiting, and waiting for Spring to come!!!
Happy Snow Day!
