CAN'T ALWAYS BE PERFECT....FEBRUARY 08 2012....

As you can see, yesterday's date was wayyyyyy offffff.  It is all the fault of spell check.  The computer had down in it's right hand corner the correct date, 2/7/2012.  If spell check can't read, how can you trust it to correct spelling?

Now for other mundane thing-a-ma-jigs, what ever they are.  It is snowing.  Of course it is snowing, it is winter.  But this winter we haven't seen much snow.  Maybe winter in this area doesn't know it's winter. Mostly we have been above normal temps for this time of year.  Winter must use the same spell-check as my computer uses.  That would explain a lot. 

We have a lot of geese in our area.  Mostly just see them flying over and honking as they go.  But during the winter months they seem to congregate in one of our bottoms.  (This is land at the bottom of the hill, usually hay fields, crick running through).  Everytime you drive by they are in a group, eating whatever it is that geese eat that they find on the ground. 

There are between 20and 30 in this group, heads down, grabbing whatever bites they can.  But, and a big but, there are always 2 geese not eating.  They are stationed at each end of the eating group, just standing still, heads up, watching.  Just watching.  They are the guard geese.  It is there job to warn the eating geese if danger is approaching.  I am assuming they do a rotation, even guard geese have to eat.

This is just another instance of how perfectly balaced nature is.  And how perfectly we mess up the balance.  Makes you wonder.

We also have bluebirds year 'round now.  Didn't used to be that way.  We see them almost every day.  I have two holly bushes planted, one by the back patio, one lower in the yard.  The bluebirds seem to love the holly berries - and we had the most berries this year I have ever seen.

Where we used to live I had bird feeders, that I filled year 'round.  Up here on the hill top can't have the feeders.  The bird feed would all blow away, and probably the feeders as well.  I do miss seeing the many different birds that would come to eat.  But you can't have everything.

I started this blog this morning, stopped mid-way to go to Bible study.  Am just now finishing it up, and it is still snowing. 

Seems as if the more time I have the longer it takes me to do anything.  Guess that is just life.

My picture today is one taken here while the deer and the crows were eating together.  Every once in a while they pretend they are friends, and share the good stuff.  Other times, forget the friendship bit.  Just like us.

So enjoy the snow, spring is closer every day, and God Bless.
