Slow, but Steady

I’ve been in bed for a week! 

The flu bug attacked me with a vengeance 

but is finally letting go.

The days and nights have been so long.

I don’t like writing about illness.

I don’t enjoy reading about illness. 

I’m finally on the mend,

and looking forward to getting back to myself. 

I miss my life.

No Photo Tuesday

All of my good intentions 

Of sharing photos of sweet Taylor Alice

Are on hold. 

I’m bedridden with the FLU!

January Thaw

I'm hearing that it's going to be 60 degrees tomorrow!

The little birds will be thrilled!

They might even relax a little bit in between their nibbles.

I had a sweet black capped chickadee visit today,

bringing her good tidings.

She was absolutely precious!

Speaking of precious.....

Stay tuned!

With love and hugs!

Winter Friends

 I love feeding and observing  the wild birds.
At the break of dawn,
when most other wildlife still sleeps,
the little birds begin their day.

 Tending to themselves,
they are

lovely in every way.
Energetic, happy, patient,
 determined, colorful,
And, most definitely, unique!

If you’re looking for some sweet company

during these frigid Winter months,

I encourage you to pick up a little bag 

of black oil sunflower seeds,

sprinkle some within your view,
grab a cup of tea, 

and you’ll be delightedi

to welcome your new friends.

Happy Friday!

Crater Lake

We’re lucky to live in such a beautiful part of NJ.

Just a short drive away, 

Crater Lake offers the beauty 

of northwest New Jersey’s 

  forests, streams, wildlife,

peace, solitude,

hiking trails, fishing holes

and sunsets.

Take the Old Mine Road,

I’m sure you’ll agree.

Love and hugs.

❤️

Happy New Year!

Bitter cold, bone chilling January 1st, 2018.

I'm happy to see the little birds 

 enjoying our discarded

Christmas tree!

It's pages are blank.
The book is called Opportunity
 and it's first chapter
is
 New Year's Day."

Happy New Year!
