best day of the work week

 skies full of flurries and...
 i looked up when i came home a little bit early today.
 there were some interesting things to see
besides snow
 beady little eye. s/he's the porcupine in my big red pine.
 and then a tile i'd ordered from the amazing novie trump 
who knows just what i need.
i may be ready to try these out. 
soon.

  1. I love Novie Trumps work... and what great wings! I also love porcupines, though, of course, they do do damage. When I first moved here, I thought there was an alien gnome coming late at night.... I heard someone outside muttering to him/herself night after night... but QUITE the muttering.. surely, an alien gnome. One night I got a flashlight and looked outside to see a porcupine waddling around and muttering to her/himself. Luckily no dogs around to be worried about....

  5. porcupine-the last syllable tells you which species they like best!

  6. I love the pine needles and the porcupine quills together. Maybe all that pokeyness is cozy for her, familiar.

  7. life in the snow....great. cute little fella. I remember following wombat trails when I was cross country skiing years ago, such fun.

    careful learning to fly with those wings velma, you need to practice where you have a clear run and no large objects in your flight path. would not like to see you injured.

  8. I love Jennifer's comment... and, in response to Jude ( I do see how typepad's respond thing is a great feature, wish blogger had it!) I occasionally see porcupines way up high like a huge ball on the end of a branch, dangling over the road. They are QUITE the climbers!

  11. i will employ those wings, i'm sure! the porcupine have always been here, i first saw them skiing and wondered at the strange trails...until i looked up! if i were, by the way, more adept at computer stuff, i would have chosen typepad but blogger was supposed to be the easiest. i may change someday, but blogger has been good to me, mostly.

  12. V- didn't really know about porcupine until you posted on the problems with them - pretty nasty critters. Hope Wendy gives them a wide berth. Go well. B

  13. i looked up the critter-it's a rodent, of course! that's why it's so darn clever! wendy is concerned about only some creatures, porckys seem to be off her radar. my first b.c. had two encounters. wendy ignores them.

  14. Wow. A porcupine. I thought it was a big cat at first!
