We're having Indian Summer here inthe Great Icebox. Which is generally a harbinger of nasty things to come. I got up to nearly 70 F today.

I think we've got the same weather as pshrynk, nearly. Quite warm today and for the next few days, but i suspect we'd better look out after that!

We got our first proper snow yesterday, about two inches, although the next village over has over 10 inches - time to bring in the outdoor furniture and trampoline I guess....

Had our first snow around Montreal but it melted on contact. It's Vermont that had trouble with that storm, they had something like 16 inches.

Weather never really bothers me. I get in the shop when it's dark and I get out when it's dark and there are no windows to peek out of. As long as there is'nt too much stuff on the road I don't mind anymore. All I want is to get back home to put my feet up next to the pellet stove and enjoy something relaxing.

Lovely lilies, Ralph Sir Edward!

Oh, do you think someone will throw a snowball at me if I post a picture I took yesterday at lunch? The white stuff peeking through the leaves is a cloud. Not a fluffy flake of snow in sight.

If there is to be any throwing done around here, it should be chocolate balls (available in the chocolate arsenal...)

Saw a hawk on my chimney cap at dusk today, eating it's dinner. I tried to take pictures, but I haven't checked them out. (I doubt they came out.)

Pretty leaves!

The bird is quite small in that picture but to my memory its presence on a house and its colors indicate more of it being a falcon than a hawk.

It is beautiful. These birds are fascinating.

I don't know if falcons are native to Texas. Whatever it is, it's a bird of prey. I'm proud to have my yard eco-friendly enough to have it's presence... (Along with the lizards, doves, occasional frogs, fish in the water lily tubs, ect.) And roses - lots of roses....

You're effectively quite lucky to have such a visit. Keep up the eco treatment and bravo for it.

Did you know that birds of prey were almost eradicated by DDT? They are making a comeback now and their habits have changed a lot compared to the seventies. In my region they live on powerlines next to highways. I guess the noise distracts prey just enough to make them careless and available. Again, fascinating creatures.
