Well I don’t know about you, but the weatherman has introduced me to new words about the weather.
Before 2004 I used the word “tidal wave” but after the horrific one in Indonesia tsunami became forever substituted.
Now this winter it is vortex and although we on the East Coast were spared, tragic pictures of the effects in the middle of the country are surely in our minds.
A cane in my right hand has been a “must” for some time so I will not fall and break something as three friends have recently done. This means I can no longer go out on the deck to fill the bird feeder and must be content with the daily sighting of a red bellied woodpecker as he visits the same tree and circles the same way in front of my computer.
A sometimes flock of Robins lends interest and late afternoons are livened by a small group of noisy crows as they head for bed. It’s a long time until the bird bath, now tipped on its side, brings the excitement and wonder of our warm weather visitors.
Our weather has been amazingly warm but don’t count on its lasting!
