Could I make a suggestion about the limbs and branches? If your yard is big enough perhaps you could create a little “wild”corner by just piling them up… One of the main reasons that there is less wildlife and insects in our towns is that most people are too “tidy”… Leaving just a small area of tall grass and branches becomes a Heaven for many creatures… If you plant a few perennial plants that are pollinator friendly it will be useful and Pretty!

Actually, that's what I ended up doing.
I dragged them all to the side of my front yard and sort of piled them up after I heard we were getting snow tomorrow. So there they will stay. I just didn't want anyone to trip over them, like the postal carrier or even me, lol.
It suddenly feels much colder. I had to buy a coat while I was out today.

Beautiful warm weather continues. It will be near 80 on Christmas day so too hot for cute sweaters!
we will be having a green Christmas as the little bit of snow we had melted and the forecast is above freezing until Friday when we might get a few flakes

Ours will be green as well. The snow forecast for my area was a bust. We barely got a dusting, as I could still see the grass, lol. All good, though, as I'll be happy not to have bad weather to drive in on Christmas Day.
I did get a nice two mile walk in this morning while the snow was coming down. I loved it. But it quickly turned to rain afterwards so no white Christmas here.
Safe travels to you, @PTree15

yes, we are now forecast 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) on Friday so that should be good fun

Today is our last warm day of the week getting into the upper 70's. Tonight a winter front is coming and will drop temps into the 30's and 40's overnight! Tomorrow will only be around 60 for a high.
It was -3 C. I hope that the strays got some warmth in their tiny nests. I piled tons of straw inside.
I went outside to check on the nests as it's very cold. It's 6°C and it's 3pm so at night when it'll be - 3 C the shelter won't be warm enough. It's far too open and it would need to have a plastic cover in front of the entrance. Perhaps some cardboard inside? However, I cannot add this as it will be demolished by the neighbours.
It makes me feel ill to know that the strays are cold during the night.

It's been crazy windy the last couple days, and around 20F. Now it's snowing, large fluffy looking flakes. So glad I have the next two days off!

Very cold this morning! Windchills in the upper 20's and air temp is 32F. BRRRRRR! The sun is shining brightly though so that's a plus.
We are getting snow after midnight, and the sun is shining here, too.
