Beautiful snow covered landscape is so pretty .. that is what it looks like out there at the moment, temperatures dropped, so snow fell over the treacherous black ice/ & plain frozen over rain from yesterdays downpour. Temperatures dropped overnight to the mid twenties and are expected to stay below freezing for most of the day. Though precipitation is expected to stop sometimes this morning and from then it will be sunny… till maybe Saturday..
It can’t be stressed enough if you are going to come out to the woodlands … if you have them, wear cleats. Walking will be dangerous, Falls at this time of year can be “painful”.
Flexibly adapt to changes. The world around you changes, and so do you. Enjoy the transformations and deal with them flexibly.
This is grosbeak telling me to “get with it” I was late getting to the feeders and this bird had something to say about it. We had a lot of grosbeaks that year, (this was a couple of years back 2021) I miss the little beggars.. they were so vocal. However .. I would love to have them land in my patch again,… they were always so interesting to watch and listen to,
These days, the airwaves are filled with grumbling.. my goodness… I remember when the media brought joy and warm wonderful stories and put on entertaining shows for our viewing pleasure. All that is gone.. oh there are a lot of choices out there, but its all so “canned” and sorry “phony
I know “… there are movies out there that come around each season, same story line, different actors, backdrops are different but the same theme… boy meets girl, or girl meets boy whatever.. and you always know the ending.
Oh dear oh dear… I think I need to go find a cup of coffee. how are you dear reader, are you enjoying this “merry” month of December. Here the big worry is that it won’t be cold enough this winter for our canal to freeze for skating. Of course if it was cold and we had tons of snow, the complaint would be we can’t get around and it is soooo cold, how can we ski and skate comfortably.
I know I’m going to make myself a toasted ham sandwich on WHITE soft fresh bread with wilting lettuce . I’ll use hot mustard to make it all come together. Yum.
Even if you have done it many times before put your full heart into it, When we are doing something, especially if it is a small or easy task, we tend to get sloppy. Let’s put our whole heart into everything we do, even if its something as simple as pushing a button,

Saying thank you.. obrigado/a… for everything… is a “feel good” moment.
From my sister’s garden yesterday, Nice to see at this time of year, weather must be good where she is. I could send her a few pictures of the cold wet tree limbs and snow covered paths, hmm maybe I’ll wait for a sunny day. or a picture of the little scarf and hoodie I’m knitting for the black squirrel… nah will save that for when she sends me the beautiful photos of the hand stitched quilt she is putting together. =^_^=
Applaud the Makoto of others, When you encounter good faith or kindness in others, make sure that you acknowledge it fully. This will make both you and them happy. (Makoto: One’s utmost sincerity)
If you force your values about anything on others, it can be self righteous Don’t be overeager and have a sense of “others are others, I am I.”

Take a moment today for “silence”…the “rush” of the season, the constant bombardment of “noise” from all directions, good/bad… constant energy whirling through your personal “sphere” … … … ahhhhh take that deep breath… smile as you close your eyes and drink in a moment of “pure YOU”.. just for a second, close your eyes.. take a deep breath.. hold it… then smiling… slowly let it out… ahhhhh…. all done… smiles at you.. didn’t hurt now did it. You just had mini break. Still smiling… pass it on.
Worn, weathered, aging beautifully, still holding up and ready to welcome …wonder what the sound of the knocker is like. Funny I don’t recall taking this picture.. someone sent it to me? Thank you, I love it.
Everyone has their own way of seeing and thinking. There are different points of view and ways of thinking, which makes it interesting and creates new ideas. Try to enjoy others’ expressions.
How quickly things can change, with the rain and mild evening we had, I wonder what the scene will be when I arrive this morning. From -14 temperatures the other day, to in the 40’s today. The above pictures I took yesterday morning. The sugar coated trees and forest floor were magical.
Enjoy what happens. People who can enjoy anything happening to them receive wisdom for the next step. Try to work on things without being overly concerned.

December is a month of many celebrations… It is a wonderful time to share and enjoy the diversity of the world we live in.
Perception is important Take immediate action once you suddenly perceive. You might discover something important in what you perceive.

Beautiful female cardinal – taken by local nature/wildlife photographer Daniel Cadieux. To enjoy and experience this talented photographer’s work, please visit https://www.instagram.com/dancadphotography/
I don’t think I’ll ever grow tired of the beauty that Nature provides us with in any season. Today there were many pictures of cardinals and blue jays against the snowy background that is now our backdrop till sometime in early next year. Local birders and nature photographers have been enjoying the flash of colour against the fresh fallen snow …
Seasons come and go, but always, you will be in the NOW. Make each moment count, enjoy today .. it won’t happen again.
Give importance to listening, looking, thinking, doing and speaking. Look and listen carefully before making a judgement. Assumptions and hasty conclusions can lead to misunderstanding.
No doubt, that winter had blown in. This picture was taken last year, so no chair left on the deck this year, but the snow is here, we got freezing rain, snow, ice pellets, more nasty freezing rain and snow ALL night and it is still doing its best to make sure everyone knows.. this is it… After encountering PC glitches with a new version of software program I use all the time.. I looked back at the wise woman in the mirror and said “good idea” went to bed, pulled up the covers and tuned out.
Listen to others until the end. If you put your thoughts first, you will not be able to listen to others until the end and understand them well.
