Large wasp nest high in an Ash Tree ill omen for winter..., originally uploaded by Campobello Island.
The legend says that if the wasps build a large nest very high up in a tree then we are in for a bad winter with lots of snow. If that is true this is going to be a horrible winter. I think this was the largest wasp nest that I have ever seen and it was at the very top of a Mountain Ash Tree.

Wow! I've never heard that bit of weather lore, but I'll sure remember it. Besides the weather being far too warm for this time of year here in northern Wisconsin, the only odd thing I've noticed is that all the birds are gone. All of them. No chickadees, no nuthatches, no wrens; even the ubiquitous crows though present are very few in number. That in itself is enough to give me pause about this coming winter. Glad the wood pile is stacked high.
