Muskoka
This is what I LOVE about going home!
The silence
The sounds
The calm
The excitement
Perhaps that seems a little contradictory but I stand my ground. When I leave the house, it's sooooo quiet. No sirens, traffic (besides an occasional car), or humming of who-knows-what. Just quiet.
But then I hear this tapping, and chirping, and squeaking.
The Black-capped chickadees are going to town on the bird feeder! This is the tapping I kept hearing... This little guy (or gal) is holding a seed between his (or her) claws (or talons, I'm never sure if talons refers to big raptors or all birds) and is hammering it open.
Ah ha! Look, he/she got it open!
And when I talk about excitement and calm. There is nothing more calming than being home, surrounded by birdies!
And then there's nothing more exciting than seeing this amazingly cute Red squirrel pop out of the snow next to the bird feeder!

Steffi, you rock. I agree. Non-Muskoka is too freakin' loud! Keep up the blog - it is good candy for my iGoogle homepage.
