Rest in Winter

 

Sometimes the most urgent thing you can possibly do is take a complete rest.

The cardinals always come around during the Christmas Holidays!
This little lady was perched on a tree outside my window one Christmas Day.

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone has a FABULOUS Holiday!
Stay warm and safe...and cherish your friends and family!

Christmas Bells

I HEARD heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men."

~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Snowy Days

A December 2009 Snow storm 

When I awoke on that morning - the Bird Feeder Wreath  was full of snow.
 I shook the snow off and added some more bird treats.
This White breasted nuthatch was happy I did!

Rainy Day Bird and a Gray Bow

  Cold and Rainy.
This Mourning Dove is all puffed up trying to keep warm.

This time - a gray "bow" for my wreath.
Sprinkle the seeds and the birds love to come and dig them out.

Great gifts for the Nature Lover :)

Go After Life!

Two Kinds of Red

These little Red Squirrels have made a home in our backyard.
They put on quite the show for me...leaping from tree to tree.

And a bit brighter red! This cardinal was decorating the wreath
like a big Red bow :)
