The rain these past days, has washed away much of the snow. Somehow I doubt that we will be spared a visit from the snow queen who will make up for her delay with gust and enthusiasm to paint the landscapes white again. The critters have been very busy storing what they are gathering …a lot of take out. Given a choice on the menu, the favourite has been the peanuts in their shells. the shelled peanuts are left in favour of the ones in a shell.. a big Thank You to my neigbour that left me an almost full bag of the black sunflower seeds, they LOVE those.

Images from Egypt taken recently, my niece, nephew and family are visiting, it was nice to see some history … I see a little sliver of blue sky! What a great experience for the great nieces.

dragon is on its way… soon.. officially 2.10.24

A change in weather can bring on cold sores, headaches, arthritis flare ups, and the list goes on. Not much can be done about it, weather patterns are changing and have been for some time now. The other day I heard a mother waited for hours in hospital emergency to get a prescription because she has been unable for 2 years now to find a family doctor, and the medication is needed in on ongoing basis for one of her children.

I remember thinking.. wow and my diabetic medication is on back order because medical practitioners have been prescribing it for weigh loss??? Its time we took our lives back, not be swayed by the hype and the media, but start watching what we eat, how we eat, and making sure we are living in a way that will maintain our health over the years to come .. without “needing” pharmaceutical products … that said.. have you tried to find a “real” watermelon lately. I looked for one that was organic, didn’t look pale pink and still had seeds. Did I succeed?

Some things in life we have no control over, ie..someone else’s health/behaviour, but we can take care that WE are eating, sleeping and being kind to OURselves. Did you realize how hard the body works to digest what we eat…? Do you eat after 7 pm? Do you allow for the body to fully digest a meal before you start feeding it again? I was bad last night, when Keeper went out after midnight, I saw the left over veggies and couldn’t resist snagging a roasted parsnip. Bad me. I had told myself the other day I was going to make a supreme effort to let my body get a decent number of hours for sleep.. and not have to digest food .. I stop eating after my evening meal. Yet.. where was my will power/good intention in the wee hours.??? This is something I have to do for me. No one else can do it for me.

Get things started with Grit. If you work on things in daily life with the attitude of “let’s do it!” you will feel a power to accomplish things. People around you will rely on you.

What do you think of this morning’s calendar quote?

Please join in prayer for those who require extra healing and positive energy. It has been to many a very distressing and turbulent time. ”All is a mirror”

Rust

Rust was the colour of the world yesterday, not monotone, just different shades of rust. If I could have put down an abandoned, rusted vintage chevy truck with pumpkins and wood for the fireplace in the back it would have been perfect. The new is creeping in on us… won’t be long!!!

Develop new ideas through your imagination – softly and flexibly. If you could find a way to add a twist, you will have more joy.

Beauty

This beautiful picture was taken by Michel Lanthier who posted it the other day on his FB page.. https://www.facebook.com/michel.lanthier.79…

For you are regulars, you know this past few weeks have been filled with a very deep sadness, and it was a cardinal who took flight when Velcro passed. (previous post). Michel has recently posted some beautiful pictures of cardinals, but when I saw this one he took of a bird in flight, I knew I wanted to share it. I find it so spiritual, beautiful and healing, I spend a lot of time with birds as you all know… I have them flying past me, landing on me and sharing hours with me… but this picture Michel got of the bird in flight, his ability to capture the detail of the graceful beauty as its wings open and it takes to the air … is breathtaking.

If I’ve learned anything over the past many years in the “bush” meeting up with the wildlife photographers, they are artists dedicated to their “art”… they spend hours in whatever weather we are having, waiting for that “one” moment in time…. thanks to their patience and dedication to their craft, we get to see and enjoy nature in a totally different way,

Put Makoto even into small things.(sincerity) Don’t let things go with “oh well”. You will have a different outcome if you put Makoto in all you do.

With a prayerful mind, put your heart into everything you do, Even when you’ve put your best effort, you may have overlooked something. With a humble mind, take a second look to check for mistakes or oversights.

r.i.p.

Saying goodbye is never easy. 18+ years of companionship and joy.

Whether you are happy or not depends on your perspective. The things that happen in your life are neither good nor bad, It is your perspective that determines whether the outcome is good or unfortunate.

The vet and his team, made a house call. Velcro got to be in his favourite place to be, watching over his domain and waiting patiently for his family to come home. Just as the procedure was taking place, a red cardinal came and sat outside the window in the living room where I saw.. looking in and where Velcro was with the vet, He stayed there till the vet walked away back to me to say, Velcro had passed. I knew, because just before he came to tell me, the cardinal flew away, It was 11 a.m. on the 21st. the day of appreciation and gratitude.

He was my husbands “buddy” they were constant companions., I like to think that they are back to hanging out now,.. It is a sad time for me even if intellectually I knew/know it was/is time,,.

Don’t be sad with me… Velcro is no longer in pain, his spirit lives on in my heart. Keeper (my ten year old) and I will soldier on. She best of all knew how much he suffered.

Be grateful for everything, If you see everything as material to express gratitude, you can encounter a number of opportunities you are grateful for.

Merry?

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,

Taking left over chicken livers and giblets, all diced up for the crows to mix in their corn and black sunflower seeds,

blessings

I have been reminded lately of how with the passing of the seasons, there is also a change in our daily lives. Some are slow and gradual, while others come up suddenly and take us by surprise. Either way, they are happenings that we cannot divert from our lives. Challenges, opportunities, they come in all shapes and sizes.

This month there have been many beautiful, loved souls who have passed on from this world we live in to an eternal existence that leaves us with cherished memories of what was. I would ask today that we take a moment in quiet prayer. Let’s give thanks that we were so blessed in having been able to know/learn/grow from our connection to these beautiful souls.

In your prayer please include all the members in our community (near and far) and around us who are dealing with issues beyond their control, help ease someone’s pain. take time today to listen with an open heart, make time to reach out and call someone who lives alone or could be in “need” of a “friend”,

Begin each day with a renewed sense of appreciation. Always remember that you are here today thanks to God, and thanks to the many people around you. Let’s make each day meaningful by starting out with a feeling of gratitude.
