Today at Iten's Acres: Quiet Activity November 28, 2013

It's a lovely day at the Acres. There's not a lot of snow but enough to paint the world white. The pines are particularly picturesque. Birds everywhere taking advantage of the feeders. I don't think I've ever seen so many snowbirds at one time at the place. I love their slate gray backs against the snowy landscape. Some flashes of red here and there. Tons of field, song, and white-capped sparrows. A dove or two--vacuums of the bird world. The Homesteader is especially impressed with their imagined tastiness. Woodpeckers, too, of course. In the winter they literally come out of the trees in flocks it seems. The bench and lamppost by the pond are looking Narniesh. There are sporadic snow showers to add to the beautiful activities of the day. It's a three walk day at least. Have to check the wild area for critter tracks. Wish the Outlaws could get out and join me. Maybe I can find--be found--by Bonnie. The three snows until spring legend--after the forsythia bloom--has been put to rest. I know they're not supposed to bloom in the fall but they did. (It is still officially fall you know?) Maybe it's three snows for each forsythia? That would mean we only have about twenty more to go. I do love the changing of the seasons and the beauty each one brings. Well, got to go. The Acres are calling. Hope you have a glorious Thanksgiving. Find some moments to enjoy life's silence--to find some rest--while you're still awake. He is a God of the quietness.
