Ankle Deep!

         With the rocks picked just before pheasant season, and the snow, I've substituted hunting for rock picking exercise. Each day I walk one field and every day I've been gratified to see pheasants. A great blue heron was winging across the field today, not in a hurry to migrate. It's been several days since I've seen egrets or pelicans but there's no ice on the ponds yet.

        It's been overcast since the snow came with temperatures around freezing so there hasn't been much melting yet. The ground's not frozen so I expect the snow to disappear. Six inches of snow is my guess and it means hunting in snow that's ankle deep. It does make walking more difficult but that's better exercise. A number of pheasants flew up today and I did not hurt any of them. Tracks in the snow reveal that they are feasting on the corn planted for them which makes me happy.

"If you’re an introvert, you value your alone time. You tend to think before you speak. You’d much rather socialize one-on-one than in a group. A phone call is probably your worst nightmare. But most of all, you are silently strong."  This preamble was printed by Twitter before posting a number of tweets from introverts. 😉😉

Takk for alt,
