Thrasher is a good name for these birds. They thrash around in the fallen leaves.

Sand sculptures
The frozen sand by the side of Falls Lake made unusual patterns. It looks like the ice crystals pushed up through the sand...?

Icy Falls Lake
It finally warmed up enough to take a walk in the park! It was 40 degrees yesterday! We went out to Forest Ridge Park and found that Falls Lake has frozen over! We also found some great icicles on the water's edge.

It's STILL cold!
It was 6 degrees yesterday morning...warm by Minnesota standards, but here in the South not so much.
This picture is from last winter, but this little junco looks the way I feel right now...COLD!

Welcome to the garden
Off to the side, out of the usual way, there is a garden for children at Durant Nature Park.
It has a "fairy village" where the kids can build little houses, a play area, and a wind chime.
