Have you ever had an urge to stick your tongue on a frosted pipe?
Spunk Marble and Jake. The first time Spunk and Marbled dared to stay in the same room with Jake for more and a few passing seconds.

The cranes flew over to the Rio Grande to roost.

What’s that old adage, “Red sky at morning shepherds take warning”?
We had light snow most of the day. Jake and I went for a long walk in the snow this afternoon. Jake loves the cold and wet.
We visited the cranes
The Tangle Heart Tree and fellow cottonwoods
“Are you going to eat that cheez, Glenda?” “Not with you staring at it like a crazed cheezhead, Sasha!”
You can sort of see the snow falling.

Where’d the Sandias go?

Late breaking news. The neighbor’s tree is on fire once again. The snow is bowing the tree’s branches into the powerline. Fortunately, it’s the highline, so there is less chance of it causing a power outage.
Looks a little like Christmas.
Only one fire crew is left watching the fire. The other firemen had to respond to more fires. Wet conditions should keep the fire from spreading further into the tree. The firemen will not attempt to extinguish the fire because they could be electrocuted.
Teagan is warning young lovers, Tim and Laurie, to escape from the sinister circus before they too become a whiter shade of pale — Teagan Riordain Genevien.
Teagan had the idea for her and me to collaborate on a Halloween-themed music video. We chose “A Whiter Shade Of Pale” by Procol Harem. Teagan produced wonderful images of herself, Laurie, and me for me to use in the video, and she sounds great, as always. She wrote a really cool story to go with the video that you can read on her accompanying post at https://wp.me/p30Tpb-9R4.

My Saturday morning project was to install a post and fencing for a Jake Gate to keep Jake from wandering down the road when we want to leave him outside roaming around the property.

What does Spunk see?
It’s a mystery to me
It’s outside the house
Could be a mouse
Not likely a grouse
A rat, I suppose
Or a cat, who knows
How to make Spunk hiss
And lunge at the glass
With a resounding bang
Makes us jump
Quite insane
Jupiter and the moon close together this morning.
We went out after sundown last night. The afterglow was strong. As it got darker the afterglow became more intense.

The sound of rain when the sun is shining with Spunk and Silver in the cat tree?
Spunk?
Spider?
Some Rose
All of the above?
The neighbor’s tree arcing in the powerlines looked a little like the full moon behind Resa’s Tree.
Fluffy clouds between storms
Spunk had to hit the cheese this morning after being up most of the night watching and growling at the buzzing, popping, and flashes from the tree branches arcing in the powerlines.
