My plan for today’s special activity was baking cookies. It’s been unusually cold here for about two weeks now and I have spent a lot of time indoors, although the sun was shining. Wind and temps well below freezing spoil … Continue reading →

Bless’s comment to my last photo made me search my archive and ask her to identify this pretty flower for me. I learned there are two very similar species: hawksbeard and catseye. I am sure I have seen all three … Continue reading →

I found a bush that had turned into a sculpture on the way to the market the other day. Snow had melted from the roof of a building and the water dripped onto the bush and froze. Surprisingly few people … Continue reading →

Tufted Ducks / Reiherenten
