Scratch that last post....uh, I just checked the weather and that storm is in my way.....10-15 inches in Nashville??? Paducah KY 6 to 10?? Jeepers. What is wrong with this picture! Not to mention the ice. I can not believe it is THAT bad down there....holy cow! Well good thing I found this before I attempted to drive 8 hours in the middle of the night, and hit that crud in the wee hours...That would put me in a bad mood, or a psych hospital. Foooooo. Well guess you have to put up with me. What a disappointment. I am so tired an exhausted, it is probably insane to think I could keep my foot on a gas pedal for 9 hours anyway....sometimes fate intervenes.

On Sandhill Cranes, we get these huge flocks up to 100 of them during migration, it is an unbelievable cacophony of sound...it's beautiful. Usually the huge flocks are in Fall. In Spring, we get smaller flocks... every field has at least one pair, and they have one to two babies and they are so protective. 20 years ago, we had no Cranes...none. They have made a fabulous comeback. First time I saw them in the wild, I did not expect them and I thought they were loose domestic emus.

Today, we had a high of 9, actual temp. I can't wait for Spring and Cranes.
