The Micro.blog challenge word for day 15 is “reflection”. A reflection in the pond of the ducks sleeping on the bank, amongst melting icy residue of the snow. ❄️🦆📷 #mbfeb

This is what we call hovering room only. ❄️🐦
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 14 is “compassion”. We are still without electricity from the ice storm, but I have compassion for the several animals dependent on us, including the hummingbirds; our feeders are probably their only source of food. ❄️🐦📷 #mbfeb
On the homestead blog: we are currently without power, which isn’t great for us, but also isn’t ideal for the feral cats, as their heated shelters won’t be as toasty. Though they are quite used to snuggling together for warmth. #Caturday 🐈
The hummingbirds have been very hungry today; I’ve already refilled the feeder twice, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I need to do it again. With the snow, the heated feeder is probably all they’ve got. Plus, duck footprints in the snow. ❄️🐦🦆❄️
A couple of aerial photos from my drone of the snowy landscape around our pond and wider homestead. Not a huge amount of snow so far. You can see the new pond island in the center of the pond, and ducks nearby. ❄️🦆
On the homestead blog: some snowy duck and chicken pictures, plus the ducks using the new island, which makes me happy. #FlockFriday 🦆🐓
The Micro.blog challenge word for day 12 is “sporg” (a made-up word). It snowed a little last night (with more expected today); this morning Rory was keen to go out and sporg in the snow. 🐕📷 #mbfeb
It’s snowing again. Here’s a GIF of the ducks enjoying some treats while it snows. ❄️🦆
