A lot has been going on during the past year here at chez Reed, and I just couldn't get to blogging....but, now that a new year is here, I'm going to try to blog again as often as possible. Today we woke up to a light dusting of snow....our first this winter here in southern New Jersey. As I sit here at my desk looking out my window, I can see lots of birds at the hanging platform feeder....blue jays, house finches, even a male downy woodpecker with his beautiful red spot on the back of his head.
The sky during clear winter nights is so beautiful. I love seeing bright Venus toward the west, and still-bright Jupiter shining in the eastern sky. There have been good international space station sightings this week, and even though when looking at it from earth all one sees is just a bright light moving quickly across the sky, it is thrilling to know that currently there are 6 humans inside the station as we watch, maybe looking down at us!
Back again soon......
