Best Solo Lunch of the Winter... So Far
During lunch at the Morton Arboretum today I sat and watched two bluebirds , six Cedar Waxwings , four goldfinches , and a pair of Mourning Doves pick through the exposed grass in a sunlit patch of snow. A Red-bellied Woodpecker called out from the nearby trees while two Fox Squirrels , tails bouncing, chased each other in the distant woods. No computers, no cell phones, no other people. Not a penny spent. Heaven.
