Forever winter?

The weather stays cold and drizzly in zsazsaland and the weatherman doesn't promise any improvement. There is no sunshine after the rain, only frost and more snow.

A few days ago, I read somewhere that in order to get enough vitamin D a child should go outside for at least two hours a week. Oops, I don't think we're getting at two hours a week. Jef plays outside in kindergarten but Abel and me stay inside the house most of the time. So I put 'going outside with the children' straight away on my to-do-list.

As soon as Jef came home from school, we put on our coats and boots and went hiking. As usual, we came home with a lot of junk branches, which this time I didn't throw away quietly but used to make a tree. I always keep bird food in the house, and so we decided to make a Bird Feeding Tree.


Everything was quiet for the first half hour but then they came flying: sparrows, blackbirds, a robin and, ehm, great tits. Yep, look it up.
And today I took this picture of the tail tits in the snow.

Well, winter is not so bad after all.

Come on spring!
