Well, after a couple of months of unseasonably cold and wet weather - today we had a winter storm. In May. Great, thanks mother nature. We had a wind advisory and thousands of people had their power knocked out - fortunately not me. But boy was it windy outside. It's actually quite therapeutic sitting outside and listening to the trees rustling and being blown about (not quite as therapeutic as the tide, which is why I want to live by the coast). But the amount of tree debris that I've got to clean up is quite substantial - most unusual for this time of year. Hopefully nothing bigger comes down before the storm passes (and, shockingly, we might actually have some decent weather by the weekend). I actually saw a bald eagle circling overhead in the wind - it certainly had the crows riled up. It was interesting to watch - the eagle circles at a high elevation and the crows start squawking, and as soon as the eagle descends to a lower elevation then a whole bunch of them go up to harass the eagle. I can't imagine the eagle will hang around long here - which is a shame for such a majestic creature. I hate crows.
