last night and this morning...

we had snow flurries yesterday afternoon and then the sun popped out just before sundown...

love the cardinals...

our furnace came...

and DH had to pull it down the street with a 2 wheel cart...

the sent it on the largest semi they could find and it couldn't get to us...

this morning as the sun came up...

do birds sun themselves?

bitter cold out there...

but they are still alive!

feeding them daily...

been unChristmasing around here...

leaving wintery things up...

DH got a new party boombox for Christmas from the doggie down the street that he takes care of when the human there isn't home...

:)

we both enjoy the radio...

and he got some new CDs for Christmas...

we are blasting the winter blues away...

LOL

we will be able to put this on the deck in the spring while we are working out in the yard...

or just sitting around...

ready to get back out there!

have good days!

its amazing...

how in the coldest weather...

and in survival mode...

just how well all these critters get along...

side by side...

almost all of the time...

I've seen buffet lines get ugly over the last bit of mac and cheese...

:)

still super cold here...

the furnace is being delivered today...

not sure when its going in, but will be soon...

the old one is still working...

just not taking any more chances...

:)

DH took another day off to be here when they deliver it...

its 200 pounds and I ain't doing that !

have good days!

my word for 2018...

it didn't take me long to come up with one this year...

the word...

MORE

do more...

love more...

pray more...

give more...

more compassionate...

more flexible...

more reliable...

more understanding...

become more than I am today...

see more...

listen more...

more joyful...

more helping...

become more than I could ever imagine...

:)

Happy New Year...

we are home and in for the night...

DH is watching tv and I am on my computer...

just waiting for 2017 to exit...

will probably be in bed asleep when it happens...

so here are the last photos of this year...

a starling fell asleep while hogging the feeder this morning...

and I got some wonderful shots of the male hairy woodpecker...

the female looks like him without the red...

hoping they do ok tonight and tomorrow...

doing some extra feeding for them...

wishing you a happy, healthy and magnificent 2018!

guess who's not going outside...

when its like this out there...

and this...

we all stay in and...

eat...

the outside adventures are watched from inside...

and the naps are often...

except when there is a box involved...

then its "game on" time...

rockin in the New Years at home...

with these guys...

stay in, stay warm and stay safe!  

Happy New Year!
