Nature Notes on a Sunday Afternoon
This morning as I sat at my desk I heard a bird call that I'd never heard before. I have no idea what kind of bird was making it but it wasn't the cheerful chirping of the sparrows - it was a trilling song. Wonderful! And amazing. I'm constantly surprised by the birds I see perching in the trees outside my apartment, some of whom will actually venture to visit me on my deck. Birds that I would never imagine seeing in the city. Some I can identify, some I can't, but I love them all.
And today in Boston we are having very freaky weather. It's as if Nature is high on something and being silly, silly, silly. I woke this morning to sunshine. Then it started raining. More sun. Then a blizzard! And now back to sun. Bizarre! But I have to say I find it exhilarating for some reason. Even though it was snowing, it feels like just a tease and Spring is really on its way.
I like the way the ends of my short haircut flip out from beneath the edges of my cap. My cap and I are going to go out for a walk while the sun is still shining. Who knows what we're going to get next!
