| The road that is not going to be taken...at least not today |
While hiding in the kitchen, pretending I don't have any work to do, for a minute I thought I saw some of that.....stuff....blowing across in front of the hill.
Thankfully it was just a little puff of smoke from the stove and wind-driven rain.
Which is bad enough.

| Not too early for tinsel |
It is snug and warm inside and cold and wet outside. Even the pup would prefer not to venture out there.
Then a hawk like a knife sliced past the window over the sink. Chickadees and Tufted Titmice scattered like chaff before a gale. One even bounced off the window...unharmed at least.
Then the thing swooped over the barn scaring the pigeons and panicking the rooster. Wow, what a large fierce bird. It flew off south, but I'll bet it will be back.

Meanwhile, last year on the 14th.

| Not much color left now |
It's 10° here this morning, and the ground's white with the snow that fell last week. This will be our condition, with temp fluctuations, until next April. I enjoy seeing what colors remain in your neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteWe are seeing lots and lots of hawks, all shapes and sizes. There seems to be more this year for some reason.
ReplyDeleteThe Sandhill Cranes are now back.
