This past week was good. The weather wasn't as bad as it was supposed to be. We were expecting a lot of snow but only got about 10 cm, if that. We didn't do much other than go to the gym and went for a number of nice walks to the park. Did you know that people come from all over the place to visit Arrowhead Park? It is such a beautiful place to walk in the Winter. It's amazing how busy it is even during the week with school trips and all. Nice to have this little gem so close to home.
We will be welcoming March in a couple of days. It's amazing how fast the Winter has gone so far. And it's been a good one, albeit not over yet but just the same. Nothing to complain about.
This is a short blog and just a few photos. One of Cooper that Russell took one day last week. I think Coop could have used some sun shades. Russell also captured our resident pileated woodpecker, perched in his tree, against the bright blue sky. The last picture is of a Harris Hawk, the newest addition to the Royal Hideaway Resort. Every day, a man would come in with his trained hawk, and his job would be to chase away the many birds that used to sit around the edge of the pool. Quite fascinating to watch. And if you wonder if the hawk actually caught some birds, none that we saw. I think the birds were smart enough and knew better than to hang around.
OK, time to sit in front of the fireplace and ponder life. Russell has a really nice fire going now. Cooper is playing with his toy and all is good. Have a great week everyone. Enjoy Oscar tonight!
