Here I am working. I call the office and know what? Those criminals in Denver declared a Snow Day and sent everyone home…….and didn’t tell me! Well, as soon as I found out…..Snow Day for me too! I jumped in the car and went to Paradise Pond to look at birds. It was good. Here we are, at the end of December, and I got three warbler species: Yellow-rumped, Orange-crowned, and Wilson’s. And a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Paradise Pond was swarming with Yellow-rumps. I saw at least twenty. Not bad for a Snow Day. This afternoon, a fish fry outside at Jeff and Carol’s. It got cool after dark though. We’re packing up to leave. We’re going south for the winter.
A walk in Charlie’s Pasture
..is often accompanied by passing ships. They appear to float through the mud flats and dunes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRlhO08vWDg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNte8KstGVY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCH6ezOGg8Q&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL Charlie’s Pasture is right on the Ship Channel.
For you doubters
Who thought a sheet couldn’t pull that whole mess together:
Our bed keeps getting taller
And taller.
First, we got a new mattress
But it slept too hot, so we added a pure natural latex foam mattress topper. That’s the most breathable foam there is.
But that slept too hot too. So tonight, Voila:
A featherbed with pure down fill on top.
