Christmas Eve Morning Breakfast

This hearty breakfast should take me through until lunch. Bottom layer is half a banana sliced, topped with steel cut oats cooked with black raisins, topped with whole milk European style yogurt from Trader Joe's, topped with pomegranate seeds. It was delicious. My mother loved hers too. See you later.

Merry Christmas from A Little Bird

I took this photo last year of a little house wren peeking from one of my bird boxes. I added the Christmas overlay to wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas.

Skarhamn, Vastra Gotaland, Sweden


This spot looks beautiful any time of day, doesn't it? I've never been to Sweden but I enjoy armchair travels there. I'm pretty refreshed and feeling powerful today since I slept the clock around last night. See you later.

Presents on The Christmas Tree

I love wonderful illustrations of vintage Christmases. These children are reaching and/or waiting their turn to pick a present from the tree ~ circa 1924. Scanned from my book A Christmas Blessing.
