Life in the Watercress Flow

In these dim days it's good to know

there's life out in the watercress flow.

A big old beetle's swimming around

and sucking up all the air-bubbles though.

Last Snow

The recent snow fall ... and Pooka hopes it is the last of the season
because she has not gone out and about for months now, being
self-confined, for her own reasons, but when this snow stuff is pretty
much over for the season (no trusting the seasons these days) she will
be out of here and not seen again for weeks or months. Not sure where
she goes or what she does, maybe down into Aurora to feed on birds under
the town feeders, maybe just to be at play in the fields of the lord or
whoever. Georgia has a suspicion that she just moves to another
household. Anyway, Pooka has taken a strong interests in some Starlings
that seem to be nesting again in the hollows of the Horse Chestnut
tree, where they used to nest by the dozen in years before the cats came
along.
