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. 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. On Monday I saw a small
flock of Hungarian Partridges in the field near my house but didn’t have my
camera. A neighbor says they’ve been
there every afternoon so I’ll have to try my luck in the next few days.
The car and the dog kennels have been winterized; not that
the dogs stay outside much anymore during the cold months. I guess it’s my own peace of mind that makes
me put up the tarps, set out the electric water dishes and fill their doghouses
with straw. At least if I have to be
gone for more than a four or five hours I know they’ll be ok until I get home
and can let them back indoors.
