coats. No luck. Went out and checked the glove box of my car - still nothing. Then I started blaming the boy-child. He had amazingly "found" his pair a week or two ago - they had gone missing last year. Of course I figured he had claimed mine as his own. So, I called him accusingly, and he denied that he had mine. I pouted for a few minutes and decided not to walk. And then, I checked out my underwear drawer! And there they were - why wouldn't they be there? Doesn't everyone put their ear warmers in their underwear drawer for safekeeping? I did call the boy-child back to apologize.
I found ice on the lake. I think this is more ice than we had most of last winter. I'm not ready for this, even though it's almost December. The geese are finally gone, but there are still plenty of ducks around, and lots of fat squirrels.
I stopped for awhile on the north shore to listen to the ice. There was a really cool crackling sound, something between broken glass and wind chimes.
I only saw a few ducks left on the lake until I got around to little beach. They were flying in from all directions, they were floating in the water and waddling around the walking paths. I walked through a group of about 30, and they didn't seem to mind at all.
Another pretty sunset.
Now I have a burning question about crows. I've wondered about it every time I see a few of them together on my walks, which is pretty much all the time. How many crows need to be together to be considered a murder? I googled the question but only got one answer with an actual number - it was four. Today I saw three crows that were obviously together, a family unit, but there was a fourth crow. It was definitely not part of the group. It was harassing the other three. Was it still a murder of crows, even though number four wasn't part of the main group?
