Angry Birds

Yeah…I know what you’re thinking. But the fact is that I have never played the game “Angry Birds” in my life. Honestly, I’ve never even watched someone else play it. No, I’m talking about the real birds in our neighborhood…that are actually…you know…angry. You see, I haven’t kept up my part of the bargain where I see to it that the feeders are always full and they, in turn, allow me to stare at them and occasionally let me snatch a picture or two.

In an attempt to redeem myself in their eyes, I bought a huge bag of bird seed and quickly filled each feeder…but then, you know what happened.

Before they could even peck one little seed out of the darn things–the blizzard of 2012 hit and buried everything. Everything I tell you.

No, no.

They still aren’t speaking to me yet.

It may take awhile.

Complete White Out

Overnight the leaves on the giant willow tree in the backyard turned a gorgeous nearly-neon yellow, and started to fall. Oh, but not fast enough.

While I  was frantically snapping the photos, the predicted snow started to fall and it got cold…fast.

I watched from the doorway for as long as I could, but look at the size of those flakes! Have one of them land on your bare neck and see how long you can take it. Brrrr…

Oh, it was beautiful though, and it came down…

all…day…long. I know I’ve said this before, but I’ve always dreamed about being totally snowed in for a week or so.

Of course, I’d need the furnace to work overtime and a big basket of yarn right next to the couch for my fantasy to come totally true.

 And never-ending hot chocolate could work well too. :}

What’s the weather like where you are? Do you love it?

A Walk Through The Yard

This season, this Autumn stuff–the vibrant colors, the crisp bite in the morning air and the cinnamony scent to the whole world, can just never arrive soon enough for me.

I wander around the yard thinking, “that’s right leaves–turn burnt orange, and brick red…

and bright, fiery yellow.

And by all means, when you’re finished, feel free to fall to the ground.

I love Autumn so much. Everything about it– the cooling and the colors and the falling.

 

I want to say to all the still-green-stuff-that-won’t-let go, “Oh, my word, could we just get on with it!”

Lucky for me, someone else is in charge of it all and sometimes that means we get to move slowly, carefully, gently, from one lovely phase to another.

In the end, it’s a good thing that I’m not in charge.

Just think what we’d miss.

‘Les Miserables’ the Movie!!

Oh, my goodness. I just saw this and was about ready to post it on Facebook. But it seemed much bigger than a little 2 minute thing. It feels HUGE! I’ve watched the preview about 20 times and now this. I love that we can hear how all these fabulous people sing. How is it that everybody in Hollywood can sing? What the heck?

And for the nasty old innkeepers?

Could it possibly get any better?!

I’m so excited about this I could just cry. It may just be the very first time I’ve wanted to go to the movies on Christmas Day. I won’t. But certain I’ll be there the next day.

Are you sooo excited to see it too?
