Suddenly I found myself thinking that this temporary (I hope) lack of acorns will not ruin my winter all that much.
How about this big fat pecan?! Oh, I never felt so much alive!!

Foggy Morning, Sunny Afternoon
When I woke up this morning, it was foggy outside and all was covered with ice. The day did not seem like anything one could enjoy. Betsy, the Red-tailed Hawk who lives in the area was at her usual spot, perched on a branch of a dying elm tree. Her wings were droopy.

We are up for quite a treat, yet again. I am beginning to wonder when will I be able to venture outside. How long till spring?! I want fresh grapes and my apple juice! Does anyone have an answer?

Cold Winter Day
Another cold day. I managed to get some sleep again. It felt good, but after a while it got to me. I woke up, wondered about, picked up Sedaris’ book again and continued reading.
