With the advent of pheasant hunting season I've adhered to my plan of walking one a field a day. Yesterday was a miss as the dead battery in the truck occupied the time. Today was the first field walk where I failed to see a pheasant while walking. There were geese on Lake Joanne and a great blue heron flew out of a cedar tree which was a first in my experience. 10-12" of snow on the ground, not crusted because it's been cold, make walking a challenge.
So what is amusing? After walking the field in pursuit of pheasants I stopped by Joanne's cemetery and what did I see? Pheasants in the evergreen trees surrounding the cemetery. 😀 No, I didn't bother them, just smiled at the sight.
Speaking of cold the thermometer registered zero this morning. Now zero, null, should be nothing so why does it feel so cold? The smaller ponds are frozen over but Lake Joanne and the larger bodies still have open water. The weather forecast says warmer temperatures are on the way.
Takk for alt,
