All I could find

[Betty]

I hope I didn't make a mistake. Some were in more than one place so I
didn't include each instance. I had to solve each one to see what it
was. Didn't find the one I was looking for.

Betty submitted this idea :

That last one is a JPG file not a puzzle. I had forgotten most of them,
and remembered the ones which I made a movie of the solution.

[Betty]

I know it's a JPG, I included it because it's the phrase I was looking
for. You used the phrase a couple of times in your posts, and I still
think there's a puzzle somewhere, but I'm through searching.

Betty explained :

It's snowing again, has been all day on and off. It is supposed to turn
to a wintry mix later and I filled the feeders up.

[Betty]

I read that it was supposed to rain on your snow, and I thought how
terrible it would be to ruin a beautiful snowy scene. Hopefully, there
will be no ice. It's a good thing that you got the feeders filled before
the weather gets worse, as it must be a *real* chore. I watched a minute
or two of snow falling in Dublin a while ago, the plow had not been
there yet.

Betty presented the following explanation :

They might get all snow up there, even though it is not far from here.

[Betty]

I just took a quick look, there are spots on the lens and I can't see
the usual view. The median in the parking lot looks darker, while the
driveway part looks to be covered in snow. It's already dark up there
and the outside lights are on.

I just looked at the web cam again, ran the "live" feed back several
hours and saw the snow plow working. The driveway is now completely free
of snow, as if it has melted. It looks like your snow may not last long
either.

Betty pretended :

Looks snowy here, and the birds and squirrels are all over the feeder
area.

[Betty]

I hope your guests are happy with their fare. [g] They must be, since
there are so many. Aren't the chipmunks visiting too? I just took
another quick glance at the scene elsewhere. The plow person did a very
neat job this time, the snow is clean without that dirty tinge from the
last clean up.

I can just imagine what your winter scenery looks like, I hope it isn't
spoiled by new additions. I've been wondering if the construction is
finished.

It got warmer and a lot of it melted away again. Still looks like
winter out there and it is cold and windy now. Still see a lot of birds
and fewer seeds.

[Betty]

The big snow is waiting until March vacation.

Betty was thinking very hard :

Ha ha, yes, and I will be digging a tunnel to the mailbox.

[Betty]

I hope not! A pair of snow shoes might be easier. Does the door of the
mail box ever freeze shut? It's 40 degrees and raining here.

I was just looking at the blog, he went to BB again. I only looked at
photos and read a couple of sentences, will read all of it later. There
is a new web site about your town, but it appears to be just another
site pushing social media. I got docked a read just for clicking on the
information. I'll stick with the blogger, I like his style.

Betty formulated the question :

It is a plastic mailbox and it has not frozen shut but the flag gets
frozen to the side a lot and falls off sometimes now.

I've been thinking about going there again, but I especially like going
there when it is flowing almost to flood stage. That last one I did was
pretty good for that, only a couple of feet below flooding.

[Betty]

The brook looked to be pretty full in the first photo. I suppose it
*will* be full when the thaw sets in. There were huge icicles in one
photo, and a stone formation that he mentioned was dangerous. It's a
shame that the walls of the canyon are crumbling as that may cause a
change in the flow of water. I liked both of your winter brook videos.

Betty brought next idea :

He's right about the crusty snow making for a very tiring walk, that
and too many frozen footprints can take the fun out of it.

I just now finished reading the blog. [g] Your post seems like a hint,
did *you* go? I hope the Dachshund sign is still there.

[FromTheRafters]

Betty expressed precisely :

No, not yet. I'm waiting for better footing.

[Betty]

That's probably best, the trek would be tiring. Plus, it would be bad if
you lost your footing and fell. I have now watched all BB videos, and
I'm still trying to find out if the fallen rocks are a well-known
formation. It would be a sad loss if it is.

I hope you had a good day, FTR.
