There's a Storm a'comin'

Not taken today, alas

Train horns mellow as old cheese resonate across the valley in the cold morning light.

Jays sound strident as a squawkboard with sharp fingernails applied.

Urgent hustle in the traffic, whether birds on the feeders or travelers on the interstate.

It's coming, says the East wind.

Almost here, call the cardinals.

Dee, dee, dee, oh dear chirp the racing chickadees, pecking open seeds as fast as they can find them.

In case you wondered.... Winter's back and it's bringing its friends...snow, sleet and wind. 

Somebody had better run out for toilet paper, bread, and milk and hurry!

It's getting pretty shiverish.

Hurry, hurry, hurry
