I sit at my computer today, staring out the window and
dreading the coming winter. Today is
windy and cold, with the first flurries of snow in the air. The forecast is… COLD. At 10:00 pm the
wind is howling outside, bumping tree branches against the side of the
house - I really wanted to trim those back and kept putting it off. Now
it's far too cold to even think about it. I’m never ready for
the cold and snow, and the older I get more inclined I am to be a “snowbird” –
Arizona sounds so nice this time of
year…
The Flickers have been out in force lately, and Magpies are
everywhere, and yesterday I saw a small
flock of Hungarian Partridges alongside the road near the house. I used to see them in the yard at times during the winter but they've stayed away the past few years. Probably better pickings in the stubble from the hay fields.
The other day I swore I heard a Meadowlark singing; stupid Starlings...
