There are red-winged blackbirds telling my dog not to walk beneath their tree (it’s on a public path) and geese coming in. Soon there will be snowmelt and the ducks and my favorite Greater Sandhill Cranes will re-appear.
This is the first and last I saw of these incredible cranes last year, from April through October. I love watching wildlife here, but love veggies as well and cannot wait until the farmers’ markets open once again. Since my organic mystery box is no longer an option, I’ll go to the markets and find whatever’s fresh and piques my interest.
I’m already thinking of planting herbs and flowers but my few containers are still covered in snow and the shovel has broken a couple of drip pans, which can easily be replaced.
Today I may make a stew. No, pot roast. And instead of regular egg noodles I’ll get pappardelle. Yesterday it really looked like holiday snow, big, fat flakes. That may continue today. A nice pot roast with noodles and tomato gravy, fireplace going, sounds like Sunday to me! Enjoy your weekend, Dee
