The Lion Roars

41 Comments

March will come in like a lion, but who told that lion to keep on roaring? Enough, already!

And here I thought yesterday was bad. It snowed all night and is still snowing. Poor little birds. I hope they can find shelter under the hedges and can survive on the birdseed and suet I’ve put out. The good thing is that under the hedges, they can find bare ground, possibly with a few bugs to supplement the birdseed.

The next danger for the birds comes from the cascades of thawing snow clumps as they slide off the trees and shrubs.

Lionlike, the snow moves in,

Though it’s March and springlike,

Swirling snowflakes drift and spin,

Leo acting kinglike.

 

Where’s my lambie, bringing warmth?

Cowering, I’m sure,

Waiting till the time is right,

Meanwhile, he’ll endure.

    I agree with you! Enough already! Lovely photo and poem, but unfortunately the poor birds will have to deal with this white stuff. Stay warm and cozy!!! — Sonja

    I don’t feel so bad now. We got about 8 cm out of our snow yesterday and the sun is shining brightly right now. Happy to see the end of the shoveling for a while. Have a good evening Anneli. Allan

    OMG!! That looks like NWT in November. We have escaped the snow here in the valley but it’s all round us; we’ve had a lot of rain. I hope the birds make it through okay. Stay warm. 🙂

    You are certainly getting more than your share of snow. It sounds like you’ve laid in a good supply for the birds too.

    This is crazy, because in the part of Canada where I live, we usually gets a lot of snow, but haven’t gone much this year and it’s almost all melted…

    Oh, I can relate, Anneli. That lion is rampaging around everywhere along the west coast. Your photos look like mid-winter (worse than mid winter). I hope that’s the end of it for both of us. 🙂

    Well said with your poetic wit. We must remember to exhibit the patience of the lamb while the lion roars.
