Traditionally, the question is "How do you turn a dishwasher into a snowblower?" A : "Buy her a shovel."
Nowadays I'm the dishwasher, so I interjected myself into equation. Truthfully, the John Deere did most of the work.

Spending time with Gkids last winter, we lured in a male cardinal using the 250 North American Birds in Song book. It flew from tree to tree wondering where the song was coming from - astonishing the kids. It landed long enough to get a photo sitting on the corkscrew hazelnut. Cool heart shaped bit snow to the right of it.
Not sure if it was the same male or not but a male cardinal pecked on my truck mirror and back window all summer. Payback perhaps for luring it in during the winter.

They lock the town down up there when it snows, it's stupid. They close the gates to all the access/egress routes. I guess they figure So Cal people can't drive in snow. Up here they just turn the chains required signs to make them visible.

The gate onto 58 west still sometimes gives me a start. I’m prone to see it as shut when it’s open.

Do you harvest and keep the seed?

Sort of. I use a section of the garden to broadcast a variety of mixed greens. Then let several different plants go to seed, collect the seeds and broadcast plant again, till under and wait for the next crop. The next year I use a different section of the garden for rotation. The more mature leaves that we don't consume go to chickens - they fight over Russian kale - odd how they know nutrition better that some other two legged creatures. I haven't collected/saved seeds from the mixed greens from one year to the next though.
I've started saving seeds for Mexican marigolds, peanuts, cucumbers, dill and sunflowers. It's rewarding to save a buck or two.
