First Day of Winter

Looking out the window today, it is hard to believe yesterday was the first day of Winter. The sky is a bright blue and the birds are acting as if it were Spring. If it wasn't for the brisk cold air that cuts through you when you step outside, I would too. As I was getting wood to put into the fire this morning, I heard wild Geese making their familiar Geese call . I looked up to see them flying above in their V formation . It stirs emotion inside me every time I witness this. I can not help it.

They are Beyond Beautiful ~

Violets blooming in my kitchen window.


A bird contemplating on taking a bath.


I purchased this blown glass bird feeder and hung it in my Japanese Maple tree in the back yard. I am wondering why I haven't done this a long time ago? I think I have enjoyed the birds as much as the birds have enjoyed the feed!

*Listening to STING ~ IF ON A WINTER'S NIGHT and NORHA JONES ~ THE FALL this morning as I finish up the gift wrapping.

I hope you have a beautiful day!
