five minutes
This week's assignment is "5 minutes from home." The library is a bit more than a 5 minute walk, but it's almost exactly 5 minutes to drive there, so even though I walked, I don't consider this a cheat. ;)
Sorry I've been so bad at posting, but life has been just overwhelming lately, and I figured it was better to be silent than whiny.
Anyhoo. Something pretty cool that happened yesterday: a hawk took out a starling right outside my living room window! I heard its cry, saw it fly past, and watched it warily begin to feast in the parking lot outside my front door.
Not long after I took the pic, he flew off with his prize. The parking lot was a bit too public for him, I guess!
I hope those of you also in the frozen north are staying warm. It's currently 3 degrees, and that's not Celsius. :::shiver:::
