Change of Color

Fall has finally arrived in the deep south of the Coastal Bend of Texas…with the change of color…   Now compared to Alaska and other parts of the nation it is kind of tame.  Nonetheless, while everyone at the old Permafrost Ranch is experiencing very mild weather and freezing rain.  We are still reaching the 80 degrees or better mark here.  So, to all my friends and family in the Great Land.  I’m sorry but that sheet of ice is liable to be with you for the rest of winter until spring.  Thank goodness, I’m not driving on those roads anymore.  My hair is white enough.

Alaska Humming birds

I sure wish I could see this many humming birds on my feeders, I would try to get them to feed out of my hands.

I awoke this morning, to the sound of a rooster in the distance crowing the morning in.  As I sit here on the computer I can hear him crow every now and then.  Then I had a overpowering emotional response of homesickness and a bit of regret.  Thinking of Rodney and the girls.  For those of you who have forgotten old Rodney here is a link to an old post:  http://www.thesquirrelcam.com/page/2/?s=Rodney
