The Two That Got Away

The turkey dinners are all cooked and eaten, Christmas wrappings are almost put away, travelers are heading home. We have had so much rain that a lot of our Christmas snow has melted, and driveways and gravel roads are sheer ice.

On the 26th, we looked out the kitchen window and found these two turkeys dancing down the driveway...... they would not be anyone's Christmas dinner this year.

My Christmas Wish......

To all who may read this note, I wish you Love, Joy, and Happiness throughout this holiday season and all year long. In these troubled times, let us all take a look at the Prayer of St. Francis...... I think it says it all.

Kevin in Afghanistan

I know a lot of family and friends are following Kevin's blog from Afghanistan, but for those who may be interested and don't have his link, I am posting it here

Not happy with the camera near by..

They seemed a bit skittish, and I don't think they were comfortable with the sound of the camera shutter, after a quick meal they headed back to the safety of the trees

young buck, and timid fawn

I have this friend that lives in the woods......

which is not such an unusual thing around here as a lot of us live in the woods, however on top of all the community activities she is involved with she also serves supper to a family of deer most nights. If it is getting late, they have not arrived around their usual time, she bangs on the screen door, and calls them. " Come and get your supper", "want some carrots?" ... pretty soon they poke their heads over the top of the hill and go down to the dining area.

Full Moon +1

The phone rang, and my mother said, " Have you seen the moon?". The first night of the full moon was overcast here, luckly last night it was in full form,( no pun intended). However it was also cold, so this is the only good shot I could get before my trusty Olympus refused to function. ....so enjoy a little moonlight.

Wishing you all a Happy Pre Christmas Season!

Christmas Lights .......

We are beginning to see Christmas Lights in the village, I don't think they are all up yet, but it is looking like the cosy village we expect at this time of the year. The Murray Memorial Hall wreath, The Red School House,are standards and the village would not feel the same without them. Other houses just look inviting with their lights on in the evening.....one can imagine the cups of tea and conversation behind the windows.
