I just hung out some gifts for the birds. Orange slices, a garland of popcorn and another garland of cranberries. I also put fresh seed in the bird feeder and made little "ornaments" in my Mom's madeleine pan, I cut up cranberries and mixed them with bird seed, then I added enough water to fill the little shells and froze them with yarn strings to hang them with.
I doubt that I shall receive many guests to this feast this evening, as the sun has already begun to set. However, I have hopes that tomorrow morning, bright and early the birds will discover my Christmas gift to them.
The frosty hand of the rain and fog of the last two days is showing its colors. All of the trees and grasses were gently coated in a white gown, sparkling and delicate. While at a distance it is as if a haze cloud had decended upon the upper branches of the trees.
Listening to Christmas music & eating popcorn in the light of my Mom's Christmas tree. Then later, we will have a small Christmas Party with Luke, watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," drink sparkling white grape juice and decorate a paper Christmas tree for his grandmother.
The predicted snow has gently begun, little flurries of the white flakes gliding silently through the air. I am looking forward to seeing how much more snow we get this evening. I love how the snow blankets the world. It softens everything, as though hiding it until springtime reveals it once again.
