December Has Arrived

Out in the backyard things are beginning ti slumber. The gardens are getting ready for a long winter's nap. The suet cake at the bird feeders have been active with woodpeckers, both Downey and Red Bellied. The Juncos (snowbirds) have returned, coming south to the Island for winter. As I write this there is a beautiful male cardinal at the feeder. There color gets brighter in the cold weather.

As the Radio City Music Hall song goes, "Restaurant signs swaying, Blue skies are graying, everyone's  saying, "Its Christmas in New York." The sky is gray, the wind is blowing, the yard for a few months stops growing, but the interim is most wonderful!
