The high water was caused by a "king tide" that occurs when the moon is at its closest and it's also in a straight line with the Earth and sun. And we had a Northeast wind pushing water up the estuaries. Chickadees and titmice stuffed themselves at breakfast.
We had mussels for lunch but a handful had broken shells, so I carried them down to the creek and liberated them to either heal or feed something else. The wind blowing up the creek was really cold despite the sun. A couple of mallards were out on the choppy water, but nothing else.
I saw lots of berries on the Virginia creeper up in the leaning pine. Too much shade made the goldenrod struggle to bloom. Sunny morning, cloudy afternoon. I ran an errand and by the time I got back, the sky had gone gray.
