More Snow

I went for a walk yesterday to get out side for a while. I stood in a light almost invisible snow fall and listened to the geese over the hill in the pond. Hiking back to the house I passed this particular bluebird box, I noticed a blue tail feather sticking out. As I leaned in for a closer look a bluebird exploded out flying across the field. I apologized for making it leave the warmth of the nest. Suddenly behind me I heard some more rustling from the box and three more bluebirds also fled the house in quick succession. Now I really felt bad. I had never seen them exhibit this behavior, and found myself thinking wow, four all together keeping warm but did I get a photo, nope.
Back at the house I ran into Oscar the Mumbling Wonder Dog. I have seen him play in the snow with anything and at times seems to enjoy the cold, but he has been reluctant to come out of our warm house lately, I don't really blame him.
Charlie the Beagle on the other hand gets a scent of a deer or some other alluring odor and off he goes. But at his age and the shape hes in, hes back soon enough looking for a warm spot to curl up in front of the fire and instead settle for dreams of chasing rabbits. I don't hold it against him. I'd do the same thing with weather the way its been.
