Another Blizzard.

2-2-22 SHORT HILLS: Well, we won’t see that date again anytime soon. There’s another storm on the way, getting the usual hype and hyperbole. We were going to go to VT tomorrow, but deferred to Saturday, after the storm, in a fit of caution. 

Today is fairly warm and snow is slowly melting. It’s supposed to rain tonight or tomorrow, so I cleaned out the street sewers, which were blocked by plowed snow. 

I had a nice lunch yesterday with Bob and George at Taste of Asia.

Judy did her first Pet Therapy visit in months. The pandemic is waning in NJ and VT—until the next variant pops up.   

Downy Woodpecker working the suet. If you ever wondered what a woodpecker's tongue looks like, see it here.

Downy Woodpecker again. The stubby beak is the main difference, other than size, between the Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers.

Here's a Hairy Woodpecker with a big beak, pic from last spring. It's hard to recognize the size difference when they're not near each other.
