Winter Rules...

Hello Friends, Winter still rules here in the frozen North lands, and has since November. Several feet of fluffy white blanket everything. Especially lovely are the tall Spruce trees. We are blessed to have electricity and heat, while many thousands across the country are presently suffering power outages. I can still remember the challenges and deprivations of Ice Storm 1998 when the farmhouse was without power for about a month.
Today I saw nine (9) PAIRS of cardinals. WOW! I was overwhelmed. The males flash such a lovely deep scarlet near their olive brown mates. I thought I would get one post in for the first month of the new year anyway... Photo's of recent projects to follow soon. Hugs!
