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!

its not going to be nice out there...

got some really cold weather coming in...

there's a wind advisory starting tonight and going through Tuesday...

I am not getting out at all...

we got a smidgen more snow yesterday...

had a great morning...

got so much done...

and then I went down in the late afternoon, evening...

right in the middle of supper...

I couldn't finish it at all...

we have got some pretty fat birds...

they are going to need it!

stay home, stay warm...

we got the furnace ordered yesterday and should be here by the end of next week...

I haven't waited on DH to order it forever!

praying this one doesn't go out before they can get it in!

MEN!

LOL
