Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Saturday, February 13 This neighbor man and his dog seemed to enjoy the wind and snow. The wind was blowing the birdseed away so I put a block of suet in the frozen birdbath. This pretty blue jay seemed to appreciate it. Yes, it truly felt like winter in the middle of February.
Tuesday, January 26 – a few days after the big snow. Cerwin was concerned about the amount of snow on the roof, so pushed it to the ground – which meant the boys had to shovel again. 🙂 Their big brother Josh (left) and his friend Sam arrived to hang out in the man cave […]
Sunday, January 24 Enjoy the scenes from the day after our big snow – more than two weeks ago. A view outside our dining area window. Our crepe myrtle bush – deep in the snow. I brought the tray to the surface once again, added some black oil sunflower seed and a suet block. A junco […]
Friday, March 6 The day after the snowstorm was sunny and pretty. Every thing dirty and dull was covered in white. Red-bellied Woodpecker – female. The male has a red head. Blue Jay Carolina Wren I would appreciate if these gray critters would only go to the ground and box feeders, but they enjoy emptying […]
Sunday, February 22 Snow seems to be the theme for our weekends in recent weeks – and for many days during the week. Cerwin opened our driveway before church in the morning. Toward evening I went outside to take a picture of the sunset. This is what I saw when I looked up. The sky […]
Every time I looked outside or heard the wind, I thought of Winnie the Pooh. ~~~ My version of our blustery day. ~~~ It is difficult to take a picture of “bluster”, but in this photo you can see the bird feeders swaying. I won’t add bird seed until the wind dies down. Along with […]
Tuesday, January 27 Cardinals always look spectacular in the snow. The male seemed particularly brilliant. The temperatures were warm enough last Tuesday to create many icicles. The snow made everything look cold – even with a warm-looking sunset.
Monday, January 12 It was a beautiful day outside – as long as you could stay inside. Icicles were dripping from everything. Oh, look! Someone is watching me. Some of you have asked how Reuben and Judi are progressing with the adoption process of their little guy. Things are moving very slowly. They have been here (from Wisconsin) […]
If this was my first winter in the northeast, If I didn’t know about the seasons, I would think that our trees are dead. If this was my first winter, I would think there isn’t much hope for those bare branches. But I’ve lived here for almost seventy-one years long enough to know better. I […]
Thursday, November 13 This fire bush is one of the few pretty things left in our yard. I decided to remember the beauty with a photo before it also gives in to shedding its leaves. It looks brilliant next to the other trees and bushes with bare branches. Some trees are not totally bare, but they still look wintery. The […]
Sunday, January 26 The pavilion did not look like it was inviting us for a picnic, but somehow a walk in the woods looked inviting to me. It was a cold, gray, breezy afternoon. The cold got into my bones – even though I was dressed warmly. One bird house down. We’ll deal with that […]
Saturday morning, January 4 The outside glow drew me to the eastern windows of the Myers’ indoor porch. This large icicle was glowing in the morning sun. If you look closely, you can see the lines of the window screen between me and the icicle and the sun. It was so beautiful outside that I was tempted to […]
