Northern weather

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Those pileated woodpeckers seem to be an invasion plague.....not many enemies, and just see and hear more of them every year.

Back in my working days, I briefly had an office in a leased building in some woods just off I-270 in Germantown. That place was infested with pileated woodpeckers. They have some size and a pterodactyl look about them; I wouldn't want one taking an interest in me.

That's what destroyed a window at my place in Pa. I see them around my house here in Va.

Witch Hazel is blooming around here.

Punxsutawney Phil failed to see his shadow, early spring on tap. Based on that, I put the snow-shovels away in the shed and shoved the snow-thrower into the back of the garage

Probably snow next weekend then,

Had a bit of fire in the fireplace last night to ward off the damp from the rain.....probably again tonight.

Might have hit 70º here in No. Va today. Totally crazy for Feb.

My daughter who lives in Abilene, Texas had near 80s this past weekend and is expecting 5" of snow tomorrow.

The weather has not been boring for some of us.

Oh, we have weather out there, allrighty, but I just cant figure-out what it is or is going to be today. Gloomy. Sunny. Bright. Inviting. Inclement. Snowy? And it appears the Weather Forecasters on TV channels can't decide either. That is, shall I go for my 2-3+ mi. walk, having put it off for a couple weeks, nowadays, or will it be raining soon after I start out. I want to walk, but I don't want to take any health chances either. The roaming and lurking coyotes are enough to contend with.

Been a roller coaster winter and fall already.... Lots of grey and gloom and rain with temps up & down and around....

If they could make decisions as to what weather we were going to have, it would not be forecasting, Just look at teh weather maps and you can probably do almost as well these days.

Take an umbrella with you to ward off the rain and the coyotes, and any clever sheep that might accost you

Walk around inside walmart. Its climate controlled.take a shopping cart and place a few gallons of water bottles in it. Helps build leg muscles from pushing. Burns more calories also

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Oh, any sheep, I'd just give a little hug to, Rufus.
