Well, as one might expect, things around the pond have been quite placid, with Old Man Winter still reluctant to yield his frigid grip on Mother Nature. Wonder if he can be forced into resignation over that. Is there such a thing as consensual winter?
Be that as it may, there appears to be a little isobaric relief in store on the weather map. We’re supposed to reach into the lofty 50s this coming week. In fact it was warm enough last week, with a little solar assistance from the upper porch windows, to spare us two short but cozy days on the porch. Not much action from a critter aspect, the local deer preferring nocturnal to daylight raids on my lovely bride’s dwindling greenery. This frigid winter has brought and maintained a steady bird clientele to the feeders–cardinals, junkos, nuthatches, titmice and their other aviary pals. Speaking of which, we’re keeping our eyes open for the vanguard of migrating waterfowl. There’s also the possibility of an early rising Mom Bear and her winter progeny. They have been known to give the birds some serious spring competition on the feeders, usually resulting in the end of that. A litter of plastic and metal former feeders will attest to that.
All of that aside, the stink bug stampede continues unabated. Shari carries nobly on, waging a war which has now become one of attrition. Except that nobody seems to be attriting. I lay my money, however, on Shari. Her persistence is legendary.
As for the stink bugs, I’ve about concluded that they are a super intelligent race of aliens, ridden here from the Triangulum Galaxy on the backs of the most recent Perseid meteor shower. I’m sure that they’re determined to overcome us by way of superior form of biological reproduction.
