So the snow that had fallen earlier in the week vanished quickly yesterday as the hours passed and the temperature rose. By evening, it was fairly warm and the air was heavy with moisture - the sky wanted to rain (which it eventually did).
And the more the temperature rose, and the more heavy the air [...]

A debilitated, yet still feisty, Noel (no longer with his hurricane status) trundled through Atlantic Canada on Saturday night, huffing and puffing and whizzing freely wherever he took a notion.
Fortunately, in my part of the east it was not so bad. From what I gather, New Brunswick got the rain but Nova Scotia got the [...]

The sun is shining and the birds are chirping. I awoke at 8:00 am and didn’t care for the thought of rising and the next thing I knew it was 10:30. Funny how that happens.

And yesterday, I got it to work!
(Full disclosure: I didn’t get it to work. Liz did. She reasoned, reasonably, that it might work best if it were [...]

I’ll give squirrels this: they’re sly, determined little bastards. They have sighted the bird seeder. They have strategized.
They have overwhelmed it.
I went out on the porch this morning and as I was sliding open the door my ears caught the sounds of rodents scurrying. I looked up and saw squirrels fleeing the scene. Oh the [...]

Am I becoming rather too preoccupied with the birds around this place? Perhaps. But there are a lot of birds here, after all.
And I’m finding them fascinating. This is probably due to the fact that where I was back in Edmonton there was not a great deal of bird activity beyond the magpies.

I want to see what happens when I try embedding YouTube video in the newly revamped blog, so here’s a brief video of “The House.” Not the best video, but I’m learning.
