2010-(Somewhere in the western Caribbean.) It would be appropriate to comment on what the whales are doing but there have been no sightings. To be completely surrounded by ocean is a new experience, but I have to say that the immense size of the ship and its fierce forward motion somewhat mitigates the fragility of our position I expected to feel. F finds it frightening and feels much better when we are in sight of other ships. Several thousand humans enacting Times Square New Years Eve, dancing, drinking and shouting, in the middle of the ocean is a sight that gives me emotions hard to describe.
2011-no entry
2012-First major snow in two years. In the less than 24 hours since I filled them, the feeders are attracting juncos, cardinals, a red headed woodpecker, nuthatches, a downy woodpecker, chickadees, a couple of blue jays, mourning doves, sparrows, purple and yellow finches which are neither purple nor yellow (right now), and a single crow who appeared to be supervising rather than participating. A general mood of hysteria prevails.
Is your breast so white,
Or is it something to do
With the snow, Junco?
