Back to the snow

Wow, the flight back yesterday was tiring, way too many people talking and kids being kids. Then when we got to the SLC Airport, it was a slushy mess, traffic jam of planes waiting for de-icing and to get away from their gates..and the inside of the airport was worse, with baggage and people everywhere! We were lucky to get home!
I shoveled this morning, our house-sitter had done an excellent job of shoveling so I could just go to bed last night. The sun came out and melted a lot of ice, reminding me of earlier years in SLC when this happened regularly - heavy snow and then melt.
While I miss the beach, the refuge and birds, and the warmth I am glad to be home and be with our animals, especially Fuzzy and Murphy. Here's a little view of what things looked like today out in the backyard.

Collared Dove sits by the feeders - he can't fit on either of them so mostly picks up the remnants that the littler birds spill.
