never seen the barometer so low as today, almost off the scale, outside very stormy weather even kenny stayed in, no vole hunting today and as leaves blew around and up in the air saw a very large olive colored bird, pale green underneath and big feet, blow past in the wind too and sheltered for a while at the top of the wooden stairs, outside the garage opposite, kenny's favorite place to snooze and watch the world - just for a moment hoped maybe it was the hawk from the summer but probably a green woodpecker. still feel sad about this
