but a challenge to the spirit indeed.
Yesterday, hope, and yes these were shot in colour. Goldeneye’s [I finally remembered without getting out the book. They have very cute relatives called Buffleheads, a much better name, and once I mentioned them to the handsome marina owner when he was taking me to the cottage in the water taxi, and he replied that they were delicious. A not in Kansas anymore kind of moment, but I have gone more than parenthetical, apologies dear reader.] are often the first to return, and this spot just off the shore is often an attractive fishing locale for ducks and humans in the summer. The ice got patchy, and they began to fish. Yesterday.
But this morning? Pathos.
Thank heavens for tea. And down comforters. Sauce for the goose may be sauce for the gander, but feathers of the goose be covers for the lucky human. It is a beautiful boathouse, but it doesn’t have a certain facility and so I got to take a picture from this vantage point, after morning ablutions. I spoke briefly with my mother in-law whom I spotted awake in the cottage, and we more laughed like lunatics than actually conversed, but it was communication enough.
I have tried burying my head in sand and snow on this blog, but now I will use feathers which I am finding highly effective.
Have a Tuesday, I know I am going to.
Finding erotic subliminal messages in bread is a sure sign of cabin fever.
Is there a moon? Everything has been replaced with a cold white fog, including my brain.
should be working on my resume and this likely doesn’t qualify.
No openings for psychic cyber d.j.’s?
A terrible picture, taken through the window, which is luckily encased in plastic, of what we call robins (but I think they are not true robins, but a kind of thrush?) eating sumach in the snow:

turdus migratorius?
life is weird
The English, or European Robin – you never know when you might need to answer a specific question in order to cross a bridge:
Turdus migratorius huh? i feel less bad now for shooting some of them back when i was a holy terror with a BB gun. hey, i was just a kid. besides, i didn’t know it was illegal!
Oh c’mon now, both of you- you didn’t know turdus migratorious? I even posted it a few weeks ago. Makes me wonder if you have a clue about homo erectus……………..(hint- not an aroused gay man) 😉
homo erectus is commonly found in home made bread, correct?
Pete- that’s a good one! Contrary to Xty’s cabin fever theory, what I saw was sine qua non- someone once told me that if they cut open my brain, they were sure an orgy would spill forth.
taxonomy is just rote memorization and Latin. what i really want to know Dude is what are your sentiments regarding this f*****g weather? 👿
Hmmm……. sentiments conjur sentimental…….will we be wishing for cooler weather in a month or two? I have a feeling it will go from too cold to too hot in no time flat. I got a good sweat up on Sat.
As in Uncle Paul’s movie:
