February 28, 2011-End Of Another Month-Closer To Spring!


Well. My flange did not hold up for more than one day. I had to change it yesterday. I don't know what I'm going to do about this. It gets me depressed. I mean not really "depressed" but down a little. I've never been a depressed type person. I just wish I could keep these things on for at least three days at a time. So now I am waiting to see how long this one will last. I don't feel any stinging yet. So maybe, just maybe I will squeeze one more day out of it.

It's a very rainy day here. At least some of that snow might melt. But it's not getting as warm as they predicted and this could all turn to ice. It is going to freeze up tonight. I'm hoping I can get out tomorrow. It's supposed to be about 32 degrees and some sun so maybe I will.
I'm staying in and taking it slow again today. My knee pain is letting up a bit so I'm happy about that.
Yesterday I was watching that squirrel by it's nest and there was a small hawk just above him on a branch. As I was videoing them, in flies a bigger hawk and lands on top of a huge Pine Tree to the right of the squirrel and small hawk. The squirrel got down on the trunk of the tree and did not move all the while that huge hawk was there. The small hawk sort of hid behind the branch also. He can be prey to that larger hawk too. It was neat to see both hawks like that. The little hawk had tried to get one of the birds in that bush but he missed earlier. I was happy. The two cardinals were sitting in that bush knowing he was out there and flew away fast as soon as the hawk hit the bush. I do get to see lots of activity out there anyway... Never a dull moment!
I'm adding a picture of the hawks and squirrel. I'm not sure what kind of hawk that big one was.
Have a nice day everyone.
