wenatcheeb's Journal

Walked into my kitchen and discovered there was a Great Horned Owl sitting on the back porch chair. It stayed a while, at least half an hour or so. It just looked around. Maybe it liked the shade as the snow was still bright in the late afternoon.

I added an old collection of bees from a couple years ago. I had labeled the file to indicate that I took photos all day. There are small wild onions up on the hill and I have been spreading their seeds to increase the number of flowers at the edge of the meadow uphill from the house. The number of bees (and a few flies) attracted to my chives makes me wonder if the two are connected.

There are a several white flowered thymes planted around the yard. One is culinary thyme, right next to the back porch, and the chives. There is a row about 3' long down the south side of the house along one of the long rock stairsteps. (It could be that one of the creeping thymes near the porch also has white flowers. All of them are withing 20' of that corner of the house.
