19th February 2022 Can you find the Indian elephant in this post? . There may be a short delay to my recent proclamation of an early Spring. Witness photographic evidence of yesterday's predicted "snow flurries". Yes, 4 inches of them. Juncos had to dig for seed. They all show up when it snows, hence their … Continue reading Flurries

We all laughed, but she looked at us and said "well it's foggy, they couldn't see to fly". Cambridge ducks would have had the same problem this morning.

When I was still very young, and at boarding school in Cambodia, I prided myself on being strong-minded. I was aware that I had experienced a number of things most … Continue reading Panic
