There was frost overnight again but morning was sunny and still. A different cat, a tabby, prowled the back yard. Chickadees and the male downy flitted to the feeders and away. Cormorants commuted to their day jobs. The sun gilded the pines.
The construction noise at lunch was deafening so it's not surprising we saw no wildlife. I went outside to get away from it and found the back yard much colder than the front. Despite last night's frost, a grasshopper was alive and lively in the sun. Muddy paw prints on the pool cover showed that at least one raccoon paid us a nighttime visit. And a hermit thrush appeared, poking through the leaf litter at the far end of the pool.Tonight's full moon was visible from the new bedroom and I photographed it from the enclosed garden. Of course it was just a white circle.
