Wintry mix

As you can see below, we’ve had some sunny days lately. Some of the days have been cold and windy, but somehow it seems warmer when the sun is shining.

A flock of geese have taken up residence near the river, and I can often hear them from my house. Usually there are only a few, but it looked like they were having a party yesterday.

Today has been cloudy and cold, but the “wintry mix” in the forecast hasn’t started yet. I went out earlier this afternoon for my walk and saw deer along the way. These were eating lichens off the branches of a downed tree.

A lot of the trees in the Hollow have lichens growing on them (a sign of poor health), and I’ve been seeing branches in the road on my rambles. I find the lichens beautiful and fascinating, as I similarly do the mosses and fungi.

Admittedly, I am fascinated by many things I see on my rambles, like this stick I found with strange natural markings and shapes I find in fallen trees.

The deer are more fascinated by the corn and apples. 🙂

The wintry mix has arrived, and it’s time to sign off until next time.
