White Spruce in the Front Yard
There is much on my heart and mind as of late, one of which is this blog. I do hope to make some changes in 2025, including getting back to posting more often and sharing things of greater substance and of more use to my readers.
White-crowned Sparrows
While wildfires rage out of control in California, here in the Midwest we've been battling ice and snow. We've had two winter storms in the past week and, even though there's still plenty of snow on the ground, temperatures have warmed up to above freezing and the sun is shining. Winter used to be one of my favorite seasons, but since my husband's passing, I find that I enjoy winter less and less. I, for one, am greatly looking forward to spring!
Garage and Back Yard
Speaking of the California wildfires, please join me in lifting up all those that have lost homes, businesses, and loved ones in these horrific fires. It's a terrible tragedy and one that might have been avoided (in some cases anyway) had there been water in their reservoir and in their fire hydrants. Unbelievable!
Let's get on with today's post and take a look at the week ahead...shall we?
