A Winter's day, perhaps the last real one, as the temps sound like they'll be a little more mild in the coming month of March. And judging by the large flocks of robins we've been seeing, Spring is definitely on the way. On this gray snowy day, we spotted a Brown Creeper busily looking for lunch on a Tulip Poplar and two Bald Eagles swirling around each other in the overcast sky. With snowflakes lazily drifting down, we slipped our way over the ice through the field and wood.
With the upheaval in the world today, people's lives being threatened and destroyed by greed and power, I do not take these moments for granted. These moments of peace and calmness with my daughter. We admire the world around us, ask questions, notice details, and soak up the quiet. And hope that some of it sticks with us as we go about our days.
