Since I don't want to talk about the "C" word and I don't think you want to hear about it, how about we all appreciate some beaver artwork? The little babe and I found these stumps at the top secret beaver pond today. I am totally amazed by beavers and it was really great to see how busy they have been recently.
With the world of people in a turmoil, it is good for the heart, head, and soul to see that life in the natural world is still going on as usual. The cardinals are singing, the Canada geese are honking, the starlings are raiding the House sparrows' nests like they do every year in my yard, and they are all oblivious to our problems. It is a much needed therapy to disappear into their world for a while. And I saw two new ducks today! A Ring-necked duck and a Bufflehead. Check them out on the Cornell Bird Lab for some interesting reading if you need a break from the "C" word.
Take care.
