December First

While it is not officially winter yet there is something about the calendar reading December 1st that bring thoughts of snow and Christmas. It is the most wonderful time of the year!

Outback there is activity. The birds are at the feeders. Soon the suet cakes will be hung and the woodpeckers and nuthatches will come more frequently. The fish have stopped eating. They are on a fast from now until March. The frogs are down buried in the bottom for the winter. Soon white blankets will cover the earth in the backyard and it will be a winter wonderland. I enjoy this break from the garden. It give me time to focus on indoor activities. In six weeks the Daylily seeds will be planted inside. But for now I am enjoying the beauty of this most wonderful time of the year. I love winter!
