ABC Wednesday


Y is for Yew.





She is a sun goddess in the dreamtime.


                                                                 Y is for Yuletide.




            
                                                    We had a very fun time drinking eggnog.
                      Y is for Yummy!




Y is for New Year.




                                                   The ice Yesterday kept me inside.


                                         I am working on my Yi and planning my spring Ya.


                                               
                                                I am celebrating the New Year.


I have a Yolka tree.




I am learning about Yuzu



and dreaming about the Yellow warbler.




Hope you are warm and safe.
May your New Year be prosperous.

Twelfth Night

In the olde way tonight is Twelfth Night.





I read the play once again and laughed.




Our Christmas decorations are all put away.


Different faces greet us in the morning.


These are haiku days.


These are winter days.


I celebrate this season.







My birthday irises scent the house.


I have a new box for January keepsakes.


A new spot to save the charming pieces of paper that come into my life.



The penguins are about.
They are so very good.


It is bitterly cold.
Even the sunlight seems frozen.


I bundle up when I go out to feed the birds.


They wait.


They watch.


They are beautiful.
May you be warm.
May you enjoy this twelfth night.

Sunday Safari

It is snowing.


Artic air has blown in.


I stayed home and had coffee with the birds.


There are many birds in my gardens.



I love them all.



They are the joy of my winter.




They are the stars in my January garden.




When the food is scarece in the wild the birds flock to my feeders.
The shy birds come out to the suet cakes.




I am so happy to see the Ruby Crowned Kinglet.


There is a pair that come to the window boxes.


They like the little berries in the ivy.



I am smitten.




Cardinal time is all day long.




Some of the Ladies like the backyard and some like the front.



The Blue Jays are eating the acorns we saved for them.
Happy Sunday Safari.

                                                     I started the New Year with a smile.




My birthday was yesterday.

I am a New Year's Eve girl.





We had a fun day.



I am interested in visiting all the museums in my state.



I am interested in learning more about the music I love.


I received lots of lovely cards and phone calls.




I enjoyed being in the city.
