Yesterday morning our first goldfinches of the season were spotted at the feeder. They always arrive between Thanksgiving and Christmas and brighten the season even though they are in their drab, winter plumage. I can’t help wondering if they are as excited to arrive at their winter home as we are to see them. #winterContinue reading “First Arrivals”

Christmas Spirits
The decorations and the tree are up and shining with Christmas spirit. Of course, a little snack and one of our favorite beverages also has us bubbling. #christmas #spirit #sparklingwine #chirstmastree
Naughty Week Again!
Christmas is past and the new year has not yet begun. Santa and his elves are all worn out from the holiday rush, and it is too early to get on the naughty list for 2024. It’s Naughty Week! YAY!

Christmas Camellia
The camellia in our yard has tolerated all the cool weather sent its way and has produced many blossoms. Barring any hard freezes, some of them may survive the whole blooming Christmas season. #camellia #christmas #freeze

I madeContinue reading “Jingle Wow”

The goldfinches are back! I spotted this one at the feeder yesterday, and it was kind enough to wait for me to get the camera and take some pictures before it flew off. They usually arrive between Thanksgiving and Christmas and are a welcome addition to our backyard aviary. Though drab in color for theContinue reading “Tiny Traveler”
O Christmas Train!
This colorful train chugged its way across a local mall en route to Christmas cheer for kids. I couldn’t help but wonder, what if Santa used a train to deliver presents instead of reindeer and a sleigh. But then it dawned on me; no, that would never fly. #train #choochoo #santa #christmas
Christmas Chardonnay
While decorating the Christmas tree recently, we decided to have a glass of Sidereus chardonnay as incentive. After every couple of orniments were placed, another sip was taken to urge us on. When all of the orniments were up, the wine was down and there was happiness all around. #christmas #chardonnay #sidereuswine #christmastree #chardonnnay
