I was just sitting here this morning trying to stay warm. It is 52 outside but for some reason it feels so much colder. Maybe because the sun is not shining... All I know is my nose is cold(so I must not be sick) and my feet are cold. Anyway back to what I was doing. LOL I was sitting here at my computer drinking a cup of tea when I saw a large bird of prey swoop down in the field. Beautiful bird. Large golden brown with white on its belly and yellow at the base of his tail. It had a wing span as big as the buzzards. I just sat here in awe of it's grace. Seeing that hawk just reinforces why I live in the country. Freedom to spread my wings any way I want to.
This bird is not a year round resident. It is only here in the winter time.
ah that is why I wish to live in the country sometimes
ReplyDeleteUmm...at this time of year, and where I live, 52 degrees F is considered a heat wave. We average in the thirties this time of year so I am loving the fact that it's 40 right now and rising!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sight - you painted the picture so clearly I could almost see it...
ReplyDeleteKeep well.....Ally
First of all........luvmort I agree with you.....here 52 would be a tropical heat wave, lol. Secondly......Celeste I love the way you tell stories.....you tell them and it's like I sitting right there next to you taking in all the same experiences you are!
ReplyDeleteFor someone with "cold feet" you sure paint a pretty picture with your words...rich
ReplyDeleteCountry living is the best! Just yesterday as I drove out of town a little fox ran across the roadway, leaped over a stone wall and gave me my 'thrill' for the day! Thanks for sharing the hawk story. They are magnificent birds.
ReplyDeleteIt was around that temperature here today and I was cold.

What a gift on a cold day. And yes, that is the joy of living in the country. Margo
ReplyDelete"Freedom to spread my wings any way I want to" sounds like heaven to me (I hate living in the suburbs!).
