Winter continues

When I first saw this, I wondered if it was a Truffula tree (Truffulus truffuli)! But no, it was just a branch from one of the several sycamore trees (Platanus occidentalis) that grow near my house (and drop branches, leaves, “gumballs”, and fuzz all over my deck and yard).

It seems that winter has decided to stay for a while. We had some morning lows in the teens and a couple of days when it never got above freezing. And more rain. As you can see, we’ve had some sunny days, too, although some days it was sunny in town but not here.

I usually see the deer in my meadow, but they roam around the Hollow, and today I saw them in a neighbor’s field, headed for my place. (I can recognize some of the ones in “my” herd.)

I don’t see much new on my rambles these days. Almost everything (except the red mud!) is gray and brown this time of year. The one thing that is changing is the construction of the new house. The weather has delayed some of the outside tasks (like painting), and I know the owners are looking forward to moving into the Hollow.

Since there’s not much new, there’s not much to write. Maybe next time…
