Hike







Gorgeous November 1st hike. What a contrast the white snow and the colorful leaves made against a brilliant blue sky. I felt blessed to be alive. I hadn't been out for a week and this hike was so needed after my oldest son leaving the nest on the 31st. I felt like a completely new person after-wards.

Large flocks of Cowbirds in the yard. Ruby and Golden Crowned-kinglets continue in my yard and the woods. Bears still hanging around. Both Gray Squirrels and two Reds also continue at the bird feeder at least once per day. Wildlife call for a Brant. Wrens have taken up residence in the Paper wasp nest.
