What a neat way to start 2008 ... a beautiful dawn past the La Platas, a clear sky, zero degrees outside at 7:15 (when this picture was taken) ... an auspicious beginning. Happy New Year to all!The Stellar's jays and piñon jays abound at the feeder outside the living room window, keeping us constantly amused at their antics. A grosbeak came by this morning, mixing in with the juncos and chickadees and sparrows on the ground, scavenging the seeds the jays kick out of the feeder. A jackrabbit was poking around down the hill from the feeder a little while ago, and the flock of turkeys swept through the yard again yesterday afternoon.
We had a still, quiet, cold New Year's Eve ... ventured out to a small gathering, came home and Sandy made hot chocolate to sip while we watched "Inherit the Wind" on a DVD. Old movie about the 1925 Scopes trial, with fundamentalist acts and statements that could still have taken place last year, 82 years later.
We're off into the cold on a photo outing, maybe check out the Mancos Mush course, and come home to a big bowl of the hearty chicken soup Sandy is loading into the crock pot. Hope all who read this are having an equally good start to their new year. TV
