Just before solstice, old man Winter blew his way into St. Louis with strong winds, rapidly dropping temperatures and a delicate dusting of snow. After so much warm weather even the birds were confused by the abrupt change.
Starlings which swarm in trees behind my new apartment were hard put to fly straight home. They found themselves suspended in mid air unable to go anywhere. Electric lines snapped by falling trees caused blackouts. On the street, coats, sweaters, gloves and ear muffs were seen everywhere.
Mother Nature is now right with our calendars and the seasons seem to have righted themselves.
