The crows live down at our daughter’s house. They like this big tall cottonwood—always the last to lose its leaves and the last to get new leaves in spring.
I’ve been wanting the crows to come up here. But they only fly through.
Sometimes they stop for a wee visit, but not long.
Maybe someday. I keep inviting them.
(But I’ve heard that where Crows live, the hawks don’t. I do rather enjoy our hawks.)

We loaded up the truck in a bright (YAY FOR SUNSHINE) brittle cold, with a freezing wind straight off the snowbanks.
But who is complaining? This year’s crop all sold THIS year!
Thank you for your concern for Rick and his sister’s. It will be a hard Christmas this year for them. Yet, also a blessing—no longer is Rick in any pain. The funeral will be Monday.
Everything always works out for the best, my Momma used to say. And you know what? I do believe she is right!
Merry Christmas my friends!
