1/7: the sun!

Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday were cold, grey, and rainy. Sometimes I like cold, grey, and rainy, but today I'm happy that the sun is back and the sky is blue (with just enough clouds to make it interesting). The birds are happy, too: the bluebirds were popping from tree to tree as I took my walk, the geese are flying back and forth between the lake and the rice fields, hawks are circling and swooping, and I saw a very large woodpecker searching for insects to peck.
