Big Events

Yesterday, midges hovered in the low beams of the setting sun.

Their revival for a few warms days is noteworthy.

This morning, snow birds arrived.

Slate-colored juncos, down from the arctic circle.

The first snow won't be far behind. It never is.

This evening, reading the day's news, I think snow birds pecking at cracked corn under the feeder is the really big event.
