Look Who Came for Dinner



*****The field across from our house is a favorite stopping off place for the Canadian Honkers, both in the spring and fall. Many times there are hundreds and hundreds out there at one time. Often when they take flight they will fly so low over our house you can hear the sound of their wings - a sound like no other.

*****In the eleven years we have lived here, they have never crossed the road until today. First they were out partaking of the water in the road and headed back out to the field. Just a few minutes ago we looked out and the four of them were strolling on our east lawn having a grand time.








A little winter damage...

*****I took these pictures a week ago before the last of the snow was gone. It actually looks worse now. You can see the problem posed by the mashed juniper ruining the symmetry of the area inside our curved driveway we call the "circle." Oh, the angst!!
