This winter has been odd, to say the least. We’ve had snow three times so far, and none has lasted longer than a day and a half. So I didn’t complain about this week’s snow quite as much as I normally would in January. This week, our snow storm brought out one of my favorite birds – one I rarely see in this area…

Sadly, another, less pretty creature has been lurking around a little more lately as well. And, this pest is inside my house, crawling over everything.

I was curious to learn on twitter the other day that stink bugs have not invaded the entire United States. Are they in your area?
PS – I am still sick and SO tired of coughing!

Such a pretty bird. I think winter has been strange all over this season… we also have only had a couple of dustings. Not sure abt the stink bugs< we do have tons of box elder bugs though.
Thanks for your valuable time to spent on this article and sharing information with us. Its a very helpful information.
Love the shot of the birds!
Lovely photo of the bird! Yuck, I really don’t like creepy insects, I’m such a wimp :-) We do have stink bugs around here — but with four cats they don’t tend to show up in the house very much — LOL
This is my first visit and the Photostory Friday looks like such fun, maybe I will give it a try next week!
First…Ewwwwww! Yuck. I don’t like bugs and I would freak out if I saw that thing crawling over everything. Are they trying to escape the cold? And yes, we have them here in Florida. :-P
We’ve had a very mild winter. Usually we have some nasty cold snaps and actually have to break out the pullover sweaters and coats.
It has been a strange winter, hasn’t it? I hope that doesn’t mean a terrible snow storm for us again!
We’ve got the stink bugs, too!
I am definitely missing the snow this year! Weird winter for sure…
Love the 1st shot.. there’s still so much snow where you live.. I would certainly like some sent over it’s really hot these few days here in Singapore.
love the wheelbarrow upside down in the snow (as well as the bird!)…
my first time visiting, and noticed my link came up here, too… are you linked to my chaos/my bliss ?
I love the bird : ) I feel the same way about the snow… it seems so weird that we are getting so little. I love not having to deal with the driving.
