They hop around all the lawns hunting for earthworms that come to the surface in the spring rains. I'm glad this one found your suet bird feeder.<br /><br />I heard about all the snow in the south on the news..I think the south has had more snow than the north the past few winters!<br /><br />Stay safe and warm inside and enjoy how beautiful everything looks covered with the white blanket!<br /><br />Hugs, PatPat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-53063653154361327052010-01-30T21:51:37.824-06:002010-01-30T21:51:37.824-06:00Hi Betsy, I'm so happy it snowed for you as I ...Hi Betsy, I'm so happy it snowed for you as I know how much you enjoy it. We have snow too and I love it, always so pretty when it first falls and I love looking out the windows when it's dark with the house lights glistening off the snow. You've taken some amazing photos of your robin and I love the others, especially the one of your new wall. Shows up in such a pretty pattern with the snow on it.

These pictures are amazing! Your robin photos reminded me of one spring in Pittsburgh that we had a very late snow. There were at least a dozen robins in our holly bushes, busily gobbling up the berries. I am happy you finally got some snow!<br /><br />Hubby is holding his own. We have had a good week together.
