SkyWatch Friday: across the street

There was a great deal of twittering and tweetering going on in this tree across the street from our house, but by the time I managed to zoom in on the tree, there were only half a dozen little birds left, and I couldn't identify them. It was a few weeks ago, and the tree was showing early signs of budding. I hope nothing happened to the neighborhood trees in our recent cold snap and snow storm.

Succinctly yours: tree, bicycle, hibernate

Each week, a photo is posted at the blog Grandma's Goulash for the Succinctly Yours meme. Grandma's daughter Calico chooses a word of the week before she sees the photo. This week, her word is hibernate, but I couldn't fit it into my 140-character mini-story.

One hundred and forty characters? Yes, including punctuation and spaces! We could also write a short story about the photo, using 140 words, but I managed to end up with exactly 140 characters. So here we have this week's photo, along with my mini-submission.

It would be easier to ride up the other side, where it slants, but to make it on Canada's Got Talent, I'd better learn to ride up this side.
