Thursday

Frosty wanted me to be sure to wish all her cat friends, and their Mom's and Dad's a very Merry Christmas. Of course she fell asleep while I was posting this which is what she does all day!

Taking a ride to the lake a few days ago, we came across this massive flock of mostly Starlings. They would fly one direction then back another. I always wonder which one gives the signal and how they know to all fly the same direction at the same time. Here they seem scattered because of the semi trucks on the thruway..

This is the area where we sometimes gather beach glass, but on this day the beaches were all under water and the waves were crashing against the cliffs on a very windy and wet day.
Speaking of windy days, we had one of those today with some torrential downpours. The creek is quite high, and the ground is really getting muddy. A white Christmas is only a dream at this point.
