FOWC with Fandango — Radiant I looked out upon my deck ... and it was interesting. Not one, but two squirrels, each hanging in one of the feeders with a Cardinal in the woods, presumably waiting for those big four-footed fluffies to let go of the feeders. Once the squirrels dig in, they stay dug until … Continue reading A CARDINAL – RADIANT IN THE WOODS WITH SNOW ON THE WAY – Marilyn Armstrong

SQUARE AND SPIKY MARCH DAYS – 1 – Marilyn Armstrong
Don’t let the barbed wire put you off! March. Snow is about to fall tonight and again -- but more of it -- on Sunday. So winter didn't show up all winter. We're going to have a "springtime" winter.

Fandango’s Provocative Question #16 So the question is: “Should taxpayers have the option to explicitly say what they don’t want their tax dollars spent on?” I think we settled this during our revolutionary war. We explicitly demanded that only voters can be taxed. We never suggested we have the right to choose what we pay for. … Continue reading “PROVOCATIVE” QUESTION 16: GOVERNMENT IS JUST ANOTHER MENU
AND THE BLOOMS KEEP COMING – Marilyn Armstrong
And the cactus continues – 03/01/2019 The birds came in droves except when I picked up the camera when they vanished. Completely. For a while, we had a squirrel knocking off the seeds in the hanging feeder, but I was a couple of rooms away and I knew by the time I got the camera … Continue reading AND THE BLOOMS KEEP COMING – Marilyn Armstrong
