a bit of this and that

 

This morning I had a Christmas card and a bill to put out in our mailbox for pick-up (yeah, we are still old-fashioned enough to pay our bills by snail-mail, much to our kids’ chagrin). On the way back up our long driveway, I picked up this bit of ball moss sharing its twig space with a bit of lichen. Yesterday we had incredibly strong stormy winds that blew leaves and small branches all over the ground. It was almost like being back in Kansas.
