Friday, February 22, 2019: I’d like to think we’re over the hump, winter wise. As I noted on Facebook, the resident Holgate owl has moved way up to he northern part of the Forsythe Refuge. That’s not where she has hung for weeks on end. The young gal must be seeing the longer days and feeling the need for a partner. She is obviously a loner – or a partier.

Monday, January 28, 2019: Despite being a weather buff, there are times I wish I wasn’t seeing what I’ll soon be feeling. We could be matching that last ferocious cold snap with a colder and longer one, as in tomorrow onward. Sure, it’s perfect conditions to carve decoys. The only problems is I don’t carve decoys. I do artwork that lends itself to being outside, where I can make a painty mess – or weld freely in the wind. Maybe I’ll begin dotting…

Oh, great. This is all we need in schools. You'll lose an eye, kid. (Being sold everywhere, including Amazon.)
