47th Annual Christmas Caroling

Sunday, December 16th, we had our 47th Annual Christmas Caroling sojurn to Seacoast Nursing and Rehab. Facility, McPherson and Curtis Clark Elderly Housing Facilities,  When we started in 1971 we had 3 people, yesterday we had between 35 and 40 and the Trolley took us to the destinations.  Before we left the house, we had a lot of great food thanks to my lovely wife who spent hours cooking and hosted the party from start to finish.  (I married well!!).  As I had recently had a 3 day stay in the hospital, I was not able to play guitar or sing (some say the sound improved), but everyone stepped up: My daughter Cheri, who is among other things a music teacher, took over as musical director and did a fantastic job, Dave Proper, did a great job on the piano, as did Pete Favazza on guitar.  I just sat there enjoying the music and watching my 3 granddaughters dancing and singing and bringing smiles to the residents.  Santa Claus was a standout, dancing with all the ladies while a few of them tried to kiss him.  After the singing most of us came back to the house and had coffee and desert.  Thanks again to all who made it possible to not have to cancel this year.  Wait’ll next year;

IT’S SNOWING IN IPSWICH!

Tiny flakes falling through the trees, making that distinct pitapat sound of snowdrops landing on crisp frozen leaves below. But wait, the sun was shining and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. An assembly of Redpolls overhead, hungrily teasing seeds from the tree’s cones were creating a shower of snow-seeds.

I followed along ever so quietly as the flock moved from tree to tree, expertly pulling the cones apart for the small kernel held within.

Returning several times to the same trail and hoping to catch sight again but, with most of the cones gone, so too were the Redpolls. 

The Common Redpoll is a species of finch with a distinct crimson cap that looks like a mini French beret, giving the song bird a bit of a rakish appearance.

Their small yellow bills evolved to eat small seeds, such as those of thistles and birches. Some studies show that in winter Redpolls subsist almost entirely on birch seeds.

Common Redpolls have been known to survive temperatures of -65 degrees below and even sleep at night in snow tunnels that can be up to a foot long. Redpolls nest in the Arctic tundra; we only ever see them during the winter months.
