Happy New Year ....

Happy New Year

Happy JanuMerry

It's been a bitterly cold January ... -14 today.  Our Christmas decorations are staying up for a little longer ... we are never in a rush to put them away & twinkle lights are a staple in our home, so most of those will stay put.  We call this month "JanuMerry" 

There is nothing lovelier for me, then waking up early in the morning, pitch black outside, putting on the kettle and plugging in the twinkle lights which give off a lovely, comforting glow. The ideal light for morning devotion* journal*meditation. 

 I was looking through photos and found this oldie which is still one of my absolute favourites from our garden.  Anyone who knows us, knows how much we love birds and squirrels and have done everything to make our garden a safe haven for both. The squirrels provide endless amounts of amusement as we watch them from our kitchen window seat.  The nest was built on top of our pergola and home to the Robin's brood.  Sweet Squirrel found it to be the ideal hiding spot for a peanut in its shell! She painstakingly buried it deep in the nest and covered it with snow :-)

each one dressed

in a plain brown coat

and singing a cheerful song"
