Crows

My office is on the second floor of a concrete building in north Kanata. Outside the window is a pine tree. Earlier this week a pair of crows built a nest in this pine tree in perfect view. Now the expectant mom is sitting on a bunch of eggs. She gets upset whenever we approach the window so we have closed the blinds and now peer through the veneers. She does not seem to mind that as much.

I have never seen baby crows before... it should be interesting.

Two weeks to go for the bike ride to Halifax. The knee is still giving me trouble but seems to be getting better. I am both excited and aprehensive. Many what-ifs are running through my mind. What-if my knee blows out in the middle of nowhere? What-if my bike breaks? What-if I cannot find a place to sleep at night? What-if I cannot communicate sufficiently in French as I ride through Quebec? Well I guess that is all part of the adventure. Once on the road I am sure the worries will disappear as things are taken care of one day at a time. I think part of my problem is that this is to be my first solo tour of more than 2 days duration...
