Wednesday, 7:45 AM. 29 degrees, wind SSW, light. The channel is crawling, the sky is partly overcast and the barometer is down, predicting partly cloudy skies.
The sunrise is awesome, a “red sky in the morning…” sky. I feel sorry for folks who don’t watch the sunrise, it sets the tone for the day, and challenges and invigorates the soul.
The bird feeders are up and at least the friendly chickadees have found them. Sunflower seed in the tray for everybody, thistle seed for the goldfinches in the bag feeder, and peant butter and seed block in the set feeder for the downy woodpeckers . Bring on the birds!
One of these nights the hanging baskets will freeze and will be taken down, but until then they are still a welcome reminder of warmer days past. One of these days soon the garden will have to be cut back and the tops left as mulch, but not just yet.
