Goldfinch in winter colors

I knew the forecast was snow but when Indy and I stepped out this morning for our constitutional it was surprising just how much snow had fallen.  In reality only a few inches but enough that I decided to move the car into the garage in case the plow guy stopped by.  He must have read the forecast too since he didn't plow - the snow stopped by mid-morning and it warmed up enough to even melt a bit.  I hadn't realized the melting put a thin layer of ice under the snow so got in my first falls of the snow season.  Slipped hard on my left side when I took the kitchen scraps out for recycling and on my butt when I went out to rescue Dunder.  Guess it's time to start using the Winter Waddle Walk.
