Another dusting of snow overnight, along with a dip in the temperature. Also a bit of wind. But warmer in the high desert sun. Quite a few bird species, too. Not high numbers, but a couple posed for photos. Also deer.
Tonight, here at home, the wind is a-roaring. There aren’t that many windy days here, but when they come, they let you know it. We’ll soon see how stormy it’ll be.
