Well, the cold is lingering longer than I would like and we were getting weather reports that the weather would improve Friday or Saturday but now I think that has changed.
Update on the ants... one escaped and I paniced and threw them away. Most of them had perished by that time. They did finally eat the spinach but I feel we were not providing them with the best living conditions and it was for the best.
Today's nature viewing was this, A common raven corvus corax . Alaska department of fish and game has a really good notebook series, that I purchased years ago as a set (before we even owned a computer and could access this type of information or even had blessings.)
