Re-purposing? . . .

As I crested the hill
at a country cemetery,
this is what I saw.


Carved from an aged arborvitae.

Shy of What's Needed . . .

to safely ice skate this winter atMuldoon


Joining Shadow Shot Sunday


Saltwater but . . .

No Ocean Nearby.

The melted water on the driveway
may have been a little salty from ice treatment
or plain from melting snow.
But whichever, this gray squirrel
lapped it up for quite a while.

Lunch and a Drive

 a Bright and Sunny Yesterday

Welcome to the ♫Rolling Hills of PA♫

Thankful for good food

 and nature's beauty

Much of the terrain in this area
is a result of the Moraine 
created along the edge of a glacier

yes, as in Heinz Ketchup

Just love weathered wood

Still licensed?
Waiting to 'spring' into action???

Yes, super thankful 
for the area 
we have been
blessed to live in
and sharing it with you.

A Bird of . . .

Many Voices

Northern Mockingbird
 We often see them in other seasons
 but not normally in winter.
Moving in on the woodpecker.
Speaking of which, it looks like they have been pecking away at the dogwood branch.

Some of Us . . .

Still have septic tanks


While sparing the internal engineering details; 
today I am thankful for
the beauty that appeared externally.


As the snow began to melt
this formation appeared 
on the lid which is smooth.

Now the birds do peck at fallen seeds
but I don't think even they are
clever enough to create this design.

Moon . . .

In the Afternoon

What is the phase of the moon today?
The Moon today is in a Waning Gibbous Phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon occurs. It lasts roughly 7 days with the Moon's illumination growing smaller each day until the Moon becomes a Last Quarter Moon with a illumination of 50%.

Leaping Into . . .

February


50 days 'til Spring
If there were no leap years
eventually February would be 
a summer month 
for the Northern Hemisphere.
