Picturesque scenes.

The deer are coming very near the house in their attempt to find food under the snow. The birds are also desperate for food and I had to be very careful this morning putting the seed and nuts out as there was a treacherous icy layer sitting on top of the snow. More snow has been falling mainly on higher ground making Mealfourvonie, the highest mountain around Loch Ness, look very picturesque. The clear skies overnight have caused an extra problem of the recent snow and sleety rain icing up and the driveway is a glistening sheet of ice so we are not venturing out today for anybody. More snow is forecast for Wednesday morning and below zero temperatures for a few days and nights ahead. The good news is that by Saturday the temperature is expected to be a tropical 10C so we might be taking a dip in the loch....not!
