Friday on Pondering hill

A wonderful day here on the mountain, a taste of summer even. I only worked half the day at school, since I'll be working there Sunday for a thing. So this afternoon I did a couple of chores, made a little bit of stuff, took a long doggie walk, ate dinner, waited for the moon, which rose blood orange red and now is big and yellow in the sky. Had some agave nectar and watched a movie ("And Justice for All") and now shifting into nighttime mode. I'm working on a couple of projects, but might ditch them to sit outside and listen to the night. It's so warm and quiet, that would be pleasant to do. And no bugs!

A couple of sure signs we're into Spring:



The first offical Birkenstock day, Happy Feet!









bright sun shining thru the just ready to bloom dogwoods (the ones down below a couple of hundred feet are blooming profusely already)










hummingbird feeder out, they will arrive anytime now and I can't wait!!! In fact, if you missed it, here's some video of last years birds at the feeder.


Also, there were a lot of tiger swallowtail butterflies around today, but they were pretty happy being out of their cocoons and wouldn't sit still for a pic. So you just gotta trust me on that.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. My tomorrow will be making making making who knows what, and Sunday back to work for a good part of the day. But as long as it's sunny and warm, it'll all be good.
