I can't wait to get some seeds for my feeder. I want to watch my cats, watching the birds outside the window. :)

I took a couple pictures, which aren't fabulous but give ideas of things.


Finally got off my bum and finished my maple staff, which for some unknown reason seemed to need an antler:


And I took a picture of my new BoS binder, or at least the painted part of it. It has shinies:



So I finally went for a walk - I headed west, and let the crows guide my path. They took me up through all the old huge Victorian-era houses in the neighbourhood, which are sheltered under huge old trees. I love walking through there - I wish there was a park in amongst them I could sit in. The crows called to one another as I walked and they flew...very nice.

The mottled sky moved along, carried by the breath of the wind. The wind sang its own song today - when no people and no cars moved and made noise, it whistled and rushed down empty streets and clattering branches. it was the same sound I always heard of the wind at home, walking in empty fields, and I have missed it. You could hear windchimes, too. It made the walk a little more chill, but not less lovely.

As I came home, it started to snow, big fat fluffy flakes again. I think my previous anxiety on the day is gone for a while now. It was a very spirit-easing walk. It reminds me that sometimes you can find the wild, even when you're stuck in the city. Now I just have to get some seed for my bluejays...

One day you’ll walk the world
and keep in mind
The heart you’ve been given
in winter time
And through the bitter cold,
with opened eyes
You’ll find the strength to fight
and stand upright
