Puddle Rain

A dark day of heavy downpours as a 

cloud sat down on the mountain.

I spent the morning making polymer clay acorns

to be used as stitch markers in my knitting.

Reading, knitting, napping 

and homemade veggie soup.

A beautiful day

Back Roads and Hawks

I woke up this morning intending to go for a hike at Jacobsburg State Park.

Unfortunately, I left my car's headlights on over night and drained the battery.

After roadside assistance came and gave me a jump

I decided to make the drive to the park anyway.

(what better way to recharge the battery!)

I didn't stop for fear the car may not restart 

but instead drove around the backroads for a while.

I saw a Broad Wing and a Marsh Hawk along with my usual Red Tails.

It's migration season and they like to follow the mountain chain South.

ps. the car battery is recharged and working fine now

End of September

There is a small flock of Robins that roost in 

my tree line every year on their migration South.

They laugh and chirp morning and evening,

exchanging tales of their daily adventures.

I will not see them again until the second week in March.

Safe flight
