Sunshine!
I hope that those of you who celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Orthodox Christmas, the western New Year, had a joyous and safe time!
The sun shone for about two hours yesterday. A notable event because it had shined for only about four hours total during the previous ten or so days.
Quite the critter.
This wasp was moving quite slowly on a brisk morning so I felt safe getting up close to examine and photograph it. About 1 1/2″ long and I have not yet been able to identify it.
Head cocked.
Head cocked to better survey the lay of the land, this House Finch ensures that the area is safe before visiting the feeder.
Regarded.
This fox and I regarded one another with a mutually safe distance between us.
Dinner.
We recently travelled to Toronto for a weekend in the Big City. After delivering the dogs to our boarding kennel we rode VIA (the Canadian passenger train) and chose Business Class for the trip there. That meant we were treated to dinner – for me, cod in a tomato and caper sauce with green beans and potato wedges, an olive roll, skewered cheeses and cherry tomatoes, and strawberry slices with strawberry ‘squish’ topped by a mint leaf. All washed down with a glass of pleasant white wine.
What a civilized way to travel and so much less stressful than a three hour drive in the dark on very busy freeways.
Waits
Achilles waits behind the gate while I work in the front yard.
While I’d like to have him out front with me – he is very unlikely to race off after some attraction – it’s better having him in the back yard. He is an old guy and I prefer having him there. He is safe from the stray or loose dog which might take advantage of his vulnerability while my back is turned or I’m otherwise unable to defend him.
