Thursday, February 4, 2021 Hinterlands

Greetings from the land of frozen tundra.

Actually, we’re not far enough north to lay claim to that geographical nomenclature, but I like how it sounds. We enjoyed a nice snowfall with all the blowing and howling wind that you could want. Minnesotans eat this stuff up. If you read my post about the snow fence, you’ll be pleased to see that it worked just like it was supposed to:

Note the snow drift on the left side of the fence. The drift that normally would have been swallowing up our driveway is now tamely sitting in a calm and submissive manner by the fence, leashed, as it were by the mystical powers of the snow fence.

In other news, the subtitle of today’s post is: The Case of the Missing Suet Feeder. It was there yesterday and gone today.

The Man O’ the House suggested that perhaps it had broken off. I did my due diligence and shoveled under it with a fervor that would have looked to a passer-by as if I was digging for treasure.

I suspect squirrels being at the bottom of this crime. It’s a good rule of thumb: always suspect the squirrels. They’re frequently skittering about with quivering noses and looking furtive, positively reeking of guilt. Yes, squirrels have a lot to answer for.

A few more snow photos and we’re going to call this a wrap. Or, if autocorrect takes over, possibly a warp.

Okay, that’s a warp!

This has been Thursday Thoughts by Lynniebee.

If the snow is melting and the squirrels have returned our suet feeder, I’ll probably delete this in the morning.
