Saturday Photo: Sun Trying to get There....

 Cloudy weather, a little snow, not much sunshine...That's the way the year is starting here.  Could be worse, could be smokey. ..

Saturday Photo: Better Late Than Never

First snow much later than usual.  But lovely, all the same even though people seem to be doing a lot of slipping and sliding.  Takes a couple of days of driving in weather like this before the snow-driving skills kick in.

 

Saturday Photo: Word to the Wise....

 Went to the Technoparc this morning, hoping to see some birds. Only chickadees though, one of which landed on my walking stick. The ponds were frozen which reminded me of a book our kids liked a lot. In it, Hamilton Duck discovers that suddenly HIS pond is frozen. "Duck, who was wise, said Winter is here."

Saturday Photo: For My American Friends During This Thanksgiving Week...

Lots of talk from south of the border about deporting millions of illegal immigrants.  Not going to do a bit to bring prices down, or make life any easier for anyone. That's because so much of our food (here and in the US) is produced by folks from away, some with papers, some with none.

Life is not easy, the future is uncertain, it's rough out there....
 

Saturday Photo: Thinking of Getting a Hypoallergenic Cat...

 Visited a cattery (not at all a cat house) to see if members of the family react to Siberian cats with an eye to getting one.  The good news is that despite cuddling with six Siberian females, all concerned report no allergic symptoms.  Yay!

Saturday Photo: First Morning of Standard Time

 It was "Fall back" time today, so we woke up extra early and made it to the Technoparc before the sun was up.  Frost on everything, birds still asleep, but a lovely sunrise.
