2/12/10 ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER (or at least to the UP)

A CLOUDLESS, BRIGHT, COLD MORNING

Friday, 7:45 AM. 11 degrees, but much colder last night. Wind W, calm. The sky is completely cloudless except for a few thin white clouds on the eastern horizon, and one can see over Madeline Island all the way to the UP. The barometer predicts snow but I doubt we will get any for days. It was a nippy walk and the birds are voracious at the feeders.
Yesterday a female purple finch flew into the glass patio door and was knocked out. We brought her in and warmed her up, and she quickly came to. We put her back outside and after a few minutes orientation she flew off.
I am busy with landscape plans for spring work and am concentrating on that task for a few day s.
