While New York was getting an onslaught of snow, we received a good share of it ourselves. In a twenty-four hour period we added another two feet to our substantial snowpack.Andrew looked out the window Tuesday morning and said it looked like a black and white picture.
The last few weeks Steve has been observing two eagles that routinely perch together down by the pier in the harbor. He named them Harriet and Arnold. For Andrew's benefit, Steve acts out silly conversations the two eagles are having as they sit side by side, making Andrew giggle as Steve alternates between his falsetto and bass voice.
One afternoon, on my way to the store I saw them perched by another pier. I was able to get a picture of them just as the sun was breaking out through the clouds. I read that eagles are monogamous and mate for life.In this photo they are not side by side as they are in the morning, but I am deeply touched by their instinctive commitment to always be together, bonded for a lifetime.
