I am trying hard! Really I am!
I just need something different to look at something—not winterish—something —- OH!!!

THEY ARE BACK!!!
THE REDWINGED BLACKBIRDS HAVE RETURNED!!!
YAY!

We always seem to have something to do. Something that seems to require both of us in very intense ways. But…sometimes there is really nothing hard going on…and we have grown weary of the house (and work) so off we go—to walk briskly through a few acres, then come back to feeling fresh and ready to proceed with the rest of the day!
Yes, farmers go for walks (hikes) they just do it on their farm! 🙂

Winter, ah how each day drags
I do rather draw the line at giving up too many of my summer clothes. 🙂
Yes, my feet are hot! Cold feet I really don’t have,
although, snow will make me wear socks 🙂
And, even though, the songbirds are visiting those of you in the south—at least I have the Sandhill Cranes and the Canadian Geese.
Which really helps…yes it does!

Back in the time— not so long ago
There was GREEN!
And warmer days
Even now the world is full of news
But before when there was green, there were lots of leaves to run around in that aren’t all matted down.
Yep, Mom and I love Spring, Summer, and Fall colors!
Winter’s colors are a tad drab.

These birds are HUGE—They stand 5 feet tall and are one of the oldest bird species in the world.
And very shy—I have to be more than careful to get a photo of them. If they see me (or the dog) even flicker in their eyesight they all lift up as one and fly away!
I just love having them here. I used to call them as they passed us by in years past: “You are WELCOME here! Just land! Please! Please come!”
Thankfully they are here now!
YAY!
