Happy Winter Solstice!

Look!  It's the first day of Winter and we FINALLY 
have some snow!!!


This was our morning walk this AM - the wind was blowing, the snow was horizontal, but it was snow and that's all that counts in the end.  Huzzah!


Meanwhile, in the house, I finally got an extension cord for the tree and for the first time my tree was lit.  In fact, this is the first tree I have ever had on my own.  The bulk of the tree is still outdoors, where it's providing shelter for the birds (in fact, you can see it leaning against the maple tree in the first photo).



Have a Cool Yule, Everyone!

Happy Holidays!

Again, it's not quite "nature," but these are the views around my new neighborhood tonight, Christmas Eve.




Giant lights in a yard.



Sure, it may all be a huge waste of electricity, and it adds to the carbon load in our atmosphere, but you've got to admit...all those lights sure do look festive.

Happy Holidays!
