A Sunny End to the Week

For many weeks, I have been going by a 

road where I had never driven.  I decided to turn 

down it today.  I suspected it connected with a main east-west road. 

This is what I saw coming over the hill.  Beautiful, isn't it? 

There's an odd goose in  here. 

Blue Jay action at the feeder. 

Chore clothes. 

It's pretty warm this morning (it was about 32, I don't know what is 

wrong with the thermometer on the camera) and I don't usually wear

my coat if I have a sweatshirt on.  I should have had gloves on, though. 

Here's our dark redtail taking off from a pole on our way home. 

He went from pole, to pole, to pole. 

This is the beautiful guy down on our corner (or it may be a female!) at 

155th Street. 

He flew to another tree. 

I forgot to tell you... I'm calling this guy Rooster Cogburn now. 

He makes Cogburnish noises. 

He would still love to fight his rival on the other side. 

He does, however, since last night, have a heated dog water bowl to keep 

him in drinkable water.  If, on Sunday, it is as stormy and 

cold as they say it will be... I will be resting easy, knowing that both sides

have plentiful food and potable water.  

Notice the hen looking out?  That's still the most they have done. 

You can see what a run in the sun does for our little Jester!
