It is always wonderful to wake up each morning and find something new and beautiful outside. Those large nests in the tree outside our door are apparently squirrel nests. That is quite interesting to me, especially since I saw a bird yank something away for the top nest and was reminded of the books by Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown that feature cats and dogs! You might not see the connection but I can imagine a bird stealing a feather from the squirrel nest to add to her own nest. They might be having a heated conversation just like Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tucker do in the series about Harry and her adventures solving murders in Virginia.
On a recent morning we went outside and found our railing in a newly dressed state. I found it beautiful. Because it was so pretty I snapped a photo then used the uprights to hold onto on the way down the stairs so as not to displace the frost crystals.
It seems certain that late fall is in the air. We have twice heard Canada geese honking overhead. I expect they will come back to the ponds and meadow across from the office soon. That will be a treat, though not as much as seeing the babies in the spring...
