Caturday, and the catnip is sprouting…

Mrs. Cardinal feels peckish…
Taken Thursday afternoon before the snow started to stick.

Pat pointed this out to me late Saturday afternoon. After years in Ohio, we seldom saw scenes like this after snowfalls, because winter winds blowing off Lake Erie didn’t allow snow to pile up this way — and especially not in tall, narrow piles like the five in this picture.

In our back yard
It’s likely snagged prey before in our back yard, but there was none today near this Cooper’s hawk. Photo taken at 2:40 this afternoon, the bird flew off a couple of minutes later, and this was posted 6 minutes after that. Sorry for being so slow — shouldn’t have written so much.

Another one taken Thanksgiving afternoon. After dinner, Pat, her sister Joyce, granddaughter Diana, and I went for a walk to pro-actively counteract the effects of tryptophan **, and Joyce spotted this alongside a street in the development. (That’s the asphalt at the bottom of the picture.)
** – Is tryptophan a natural sleep-inducer? “Sorry, no,” says Snopes.
Almost December, and any flowers — even this tiny one — are still blooming? Wouldn’t think there are many insects feeding at flowers, not after multiple frosts in our part of Pennsylvania… yet, there’s a flower that has survived the cold temperatures, so who am I to question the ways of Mother Nature?
