Brrrrrr !!!

There' s a saying we often hear in Wisconsin.

“ If you don't like the weather wait an hour!”

   That sure was the case yesterday. In late morning I went for a walk in the

Mazomaine Barrens. I was dressed in a T-shirt and shorts.

The sun was shining and the wind was a little more than a strong breeze.

A little over an hour later “Old Man Winter” came riding in on the wind.

The wind gusts from the west pushed against the flow of the Wisconsin River

churning up white caps.

    The birds at the feeders tried to hide from the chill. Some made the best of it just by

perching on the windless side of the feeders. But others choose to ruffle up their

feathers making them appear to be twice their normal size. Much like the ones in these older photos.
