As we have yet to be a year in this house there have been many firsts. Today I went out back on the property to walk through a quantity of fresh snow for the first time. Between the cold and the amount of pictures I took, my phone died just as I got back to the house. I would have stayed out longer except that I saw the battery was getting low. There were deer prints, little critter prints and birds eating seeds from the trees. Here is a
link to a video of the birds, I think they are field sparrows. It is about a minute long and the blowing wind gets loud in a couple places. I saw them during the walk I took in the morning. I took another walk in the afternoon to view the sunset. Other things that made me
happy and grateful today:
- Juncos in the backyard.
- Cookie making.
- More weaving practice. During the week I hope to actually start a pattern.
- I found a nice pair of gloves in the winter bin that I can keep on and use the touch screen on my phone.
- There was an accounting course that I signed up to take through the library in the spring that I finally started to take today.
- The sound of the wind moving through the icy branches of trees.
- After dinner, Z, K, Gideon and I started doing a puzzle. It is a map of Southern New England and it is from 1972. I really hope there are no missing pieces...

The rest of the family went to bed and
I had to promise not to do more than the water
and then go to bed too. |
W O W the sun through the clouds and the snow in the first shot! Oh the snow. We see nothing like that here in Texas! How exciting to build a snowperson taller than a Barbie made from the snow off the hood of a car, on the rare occasions we get snow. All the tracks! Wonderful. I will have white lovely dreams tonight I hope! (12-8/9)
