Jan. 8th, 2025 11:29 pmysabetwordsmithThe sun came out, so now the snow sparkles and much wildlife sign is visible. This set of pictures shows the north end of the house yard, driveway, and Midwinter Grove. Cottontail rabbits like this area, as shown by their tracks. (See also House Yard, Savanna, and Back Toward the House.)

I usually see sunsets out west from our apartment but the hotel room in Duluth faced east I was surprised there was such a glow out over the water. It was great to see a moon rise !

Squirrel Flet and Sunflower Heads
Sep. 30th, 2024 11:40 pmysabetwordsmithBranches have fallen all over the yard from recent storms. Today I started picking up some of them, and noticed that there was a fallen squirrel flet. A squirrel's nest may also be called a drey.
Also today, I started harvesting dry sunflower heads. The small to medium ones I have hung as bird food. Those with big heads or good multiflora form I am putting in the septic garden, hoping they will reseed like the 'Autumn Joy' did last year.
