Last summer, a tiny bird used our garden flag as a perch. And the flag actually has the picture of a bird on it. Making the perfect photo op.
I don't mean to brag
But I have a bird on my flag!
P.S. We are facing a huge historic blizzard Saturday night, as over half the country is. So if you don't hear from me in awhile, you will know we have lost power.

For Christmas last month, I gave my girlfriend this. Here is what the description on Amazon said it is:
The description of this is 5 different things!
1.Poncho
2.Shawl
3.Cape
4.Ruana
5.Cardigan
And what Is a Ruana anyway?
“A ruana is a
wool poncho-style outer garment native to the Colombian and Venezuelan Andes.”
It was very soft and beautiful though. Here she is trying it on in the mirror with me snapping behind her.
I'm thinking of buying one myself.
“A poncho turns a
breeze into a moment.”
I am usually pretty good at finding new games that we can all play. And for this last Christmas, I found this game. It's supposed to be a barrel of laughs.
The object is to stick your hands in these sleeves and try to pick up and eat tiny marshmallows by grabbing them with these teeny tiny hands.
At first it started out well enough.
But it was very tricky, and soon they all hated it! As you can see by the agonizing looks on Dara's face.
I guess I was the only one who liked it. Anyway, here they all are at the end of the evening. Wonder if they will ever trust me to pick out another game...
“Every family has
that one game nobody likes—but everyone plays anyway, just to laugh about it
later.”
Another beautiful sunset. We had company at the time so I could not go out to snap it. But I did get a couple shots from the porch and two reflections through the door. The last two are the door reflections.

We passed by this house just a few blocks away. Had to back up and take a second look at their unusual flag. Can you guess what it represents?
Each colored stripe
represents support for different public service professions:
Blue – Law enforcement
Red – Firefighters
Green – Military
White – Emergency Medical
Services
“A first responder
flag is courage stitched into color, waving for those who run toward danger.”
Last month we looked around our little downtown Christmas Festival. There were lots of kids and parents, This is a giant inflatable snow globe that you can go inside for a photo. The grinch was there too!
Some people brought their dogs in very cute outfits.
I thought this was so sweet. Perhaps a dad tending to an infant while the rest of the family had fun.
Cars were wearing antlers.
By now the moon had started to come out.
Greenland has been very much in the news lately. So I thought you may like to see it's beauty. No, I have never been there. I found the pics on the web.
Greenland has
the world’s largest natural park.
It has some of
the oldest rocks on earth, some 3.8 billion years old.
Greenland was
founded in 1728 by a Danish Norwegian missionary.
“Greenland feels like the earth remembering how to dream.”
Some of you may remember my Lifesaver succulent. It has been doing so well for quite a few years. But this year some of it's stems have started to die.
Despite that, it is still blooming beautifully! It is called Lifesaver plant because the flowers look like Lifesaver candy.
So it seems to be both thriving, blooming, and dying all at the same time. I finally cut the dead stems off and it does look a bit better. I am afraid to repot it, as they love being rootbound.
Have you ever heard of Plate Ice? I hadn't, until I came across some gorgeous photos of it.
“Plate ice is
winter’s glass, laid gently across the world.”
