The cranes are annoyed, again. Their food sources have been covered with snow (this time about 6 inches of too-wet-for-snowmen-snow). They don't want to sit down in the snow, so they're standing on one leg, facing into the wind. It looks very japanese winter out there, with the cranes and the water in the pond and everything else snowcovered.
I can't get a decent picture, though -- the wind shifted and blew snowflakes/ice drops onto all the south facing windows. :(
And now the flock of assorted brown birds has settled in -- every port on the feeders has a bird at it. I may go out with more birdseed to scatter for the cranes, as we've gotten another couple of inches of snow since I filled feeders this morning.
The FCB has an On the Education Stage concert next week, in a brand new auditorium! (Livonia Franklin built a new auditorium last year.) It will be fun, and the kids came in for a rehearsal this week. Last week, I reminded the band that the kids were coming in, and to bring a stand if you could (Harrison has barely enough stands for us, mush less an additional 40 people). So what did I hear on Monday night?
"are there any more stands?"
"no. I told you to bring a stand if you could. This is why."
Well, and "how come we don't usually have this kind of space?" (that would be because the set up crew came in 30 minutes earlier than we usually do, so an hour before rehearsal, and cleared the bandroom).
