The day was partly sunny and partly cloudy. I had a walk in the evening.

It snowed a bunch overnight. The day was pretty cold so it all stuck around.

I walked between the fields. I saw a lot of animal tracks: rabbit, hare, fox, feral cat, various rodents, deer.

It was another grey gloomy soggy day, just like the last couple days have been. I went to see the cow boys. They were there, but too far away for a nice photo.

They started coming towards me after a while and then they went for a drink from the stream.

I was watching the birds today around noon. They were being very lively and active. I saw about 10 different species. This green woodpecker came very close to the window, and they once again proved that birdwatching goes both ways.

There are still a few things growing in my garden, such as these tomatoes. Some of my strawberries are of an everbearing variety, so I have a few small strawberries sometimes even at this time of year.

close up of some tomatoes on the plant in various shades of ripeness: red, yellow and orange.
