The snow has finally melted (hoping the forecasted snow for Sunday doesn’t happen)… and it’s spring-like outside and I’m back out on the rural roads having my coffee and taking in the morning light. This morning two ravens flew across the road and as I looked up, a hawk in a nearby tree decided to take flight and flew above and along-side my car for about fifty yards before perching in another tree. I also had the pleasure of waking up a country cat who was lounging in the sunshine… in the middle of the road. These are the things that excite me.
