Full Moon Outside My Bedroom Window

Happy Full Moon in Gemini December 17, 2013

I had to pull my bedroom curtains behind my head to prevent window glare. Instead I got blue and white check reflection. Oh, well. XO

Tawny Frogmouth: Watch baby bird grow

Watch this little bird grow at the St. Louis Zoo.

Click here to see more still photos from the moment she hatched through one month of growth. The video is on the website too in case you can't see the one above. She looks like an owl but isn't. Read more about this species from the Australian mainland, Tasmania and southern New Guinea here.

Webster Speaks

His face says it all. "Can we go home now? This coat is doing nothing for my poor feet."

Country Christmas in a Log Cabin

Could anything  be prettier? I hope there's a roaring fire inside and there probably is as it could be the only source of heat. And a big Christmas tree. via

My Footprints in the Snow

I was wishing I had snow shoes yesterday when I decided to come home through untouched snow that had a top layer of ice. Webster was smart. He walked behind me and let me forge the way. Since I took this photo earlier this morning, the sun has come out and I can see blue skies. Hooray. Maybe my front walk will melt. 

And you know they are.

Chalkboard Christmas Greeting

So lovely. I adore beautiful handwriting and design. via

Bistro Chair on My Balcony

The sun is trying to break through and I see hints of blue sky to the west since I took this photo. My snow plow man came at four o'clock in the morning and made a huge mess, but that's the way it is when you have a gravel driveway. My car was parked in the middle of my half circle, so he had to plow me out from either end. This system works best for me and I know it's not exactly easy for him.
Webster was hilarious breaking through the thick layer of ice when I let him out this morning. He didn't stay long and neither did Tabitha. The street is black and it is very quiet outside. I'm thinking "French Toast" for my Sunday morning breakfast. Be safe if you have to go out and I'll see you later.
