I’m grateful either that I remembered to cut back the forsythia after it went dormant and throw it on the ground last fall so my landscaper didn’t get his truck scratched. I’m grateful I found some flower branches sticking out of the plowed snow a week or two ago and brought them in and vased ‘em. I really wasn’t sure if they’d bloom since they sure did look dried out but they’ve needed more water every day. Yesterday I had 2 blooms and today, several.
Here comes the sun, and I say,
IT’S ALRIGHT!
One of my top 10 songs.
I’ve started collecting music from my nearest neighbors. This is a nice recording of backyard birds with a loud cardinal, a rooster, my clock and some unidentifiable machinery
And this is a short clip of mostly chickadees, robins and a red winged blackbird. It’s hard to hear the start of the three blackbird calls, but it starts with a lower plunking sound then that “conker geeeee” with the last drawn out.
I am truly excited about finding an auctioneer who will sell my stuff for me instead of having to sell them all myself. Goodby Nordic Track, goodby snow shoes and poles, farewell fireplace tools and gas generator. And this guy, Ed, will get as much money as he can for my things! He’s my new BFF.
And last, a minute of coyote recorded last August, I expect they will be less frequent in Oregon.
6-10″ of snow predicted for the next 2 days.
