Two rain days last week & the snow is pretty much almost all gone.
Nice little surprise this morning while out back feeding the tiny birds:
THE GEESE ARE BACK!!!
I so admire their native stick-to-it-iveness. (They can travel 800 miles a day if necessary).
Been watching their departures at the beginning of winter every year, and their return at the beginning of spring. It never gets old.
Two weeks now into self-isolation due to Covid-19. It's so quiet.
No traffic, no chatter, only the birds and the wind.
You can wave hello to the mailman or the garbage truck guys, or see an occasional
neighbor walking solo outside past your window --but for the most part life-as-usual
is on hold. (Two and a half more weeks to go till we know when (or if) this new 'now' will be extended.)
Introverts have an easier time of it. Also, you spend less $ and learn to be
more self-reliant. It forces you to look at things differently, that you might not have
done so otherwise. Kind of like a forced re-setk, that you can learn from.
Life goes on.
Welcome back, geese!
