1-24-20 SHORT HILLS: More than a month past the Solstice and winter is still here. We’re past the halfway mark between December 1 and March 1. We have almost 10 hours of daylight now, but winter starts to drag at this point—snow is not a novelty any more, the cold isn’t invigorating any more, the darkness is bleak. But in five or six weeks, things will start to warm up and green up, maybe. It has actually been a fairly mild January, so far, but can easily turn very nasty.
I was out in the yard today for a bit, it’s sunny, not windy and in the forties. I did more broken branch clean up. I think there has been more tree litter than usual this year.
House finch in winter clothes.
Not much snow here.
Lots of bare branches.
