LOVELY WEEKEND!

What a nice weekend, eh?  And great that this rain held off until today. Linda & I spent some time sitting on a bench (two logs & a board) up a ways from the shore and just watching.  The muskrats were busy going back and forth across the pond, a great blue heron came in and did some fishing at water's edge, we saw the hooded mergansers again and there was a flock of geese.

Closer to the house, we have a black squirrel this year - I've seen it many times in the yard, and the birds are still eating like mad!  Our feeders are constantly occupied.  The coopers hawk likes that.  Saw a red-tail hawk fly between the house & pond yesterday; he's probably looking for a squirrel - we have a few!  The fox ran across the street yesterday - bushy, sleek and gorgeous with its bright white tail tip!  Then there are the spectacular winter trees.  I can never decide if I like the trees better in winter, spring, summer or fall!
