Yesterday's altered image............................

This was yesterday morning. Awaking to the first fog 

of the still new year was a surprise - the garden had 

taken on a new perspective and things with color seemed 

to glow through the gloom. The feeder was empty...... 

birds hiding in the shrubs awaited breakfast.

All sounds were muffled in a grey world.

Later the sun popped out, the day brightened 

and became quite pleasant. Here on the front porch 
pretty things dangle to help keep the Winter days 
cheerful - the new and pretty painted birdhouse, 
a welcomed gift at Christmas from my neighbors.....

....and, if you're wondering about the still hanging, 
straggly rust-colored Boston ferns, there are two, go HERE.

An early arrival of the mail truck was unexpected, 
he usually leaves us until the very end of his route, 
arriving late afternoon. The box held something lovely for 
me which I'll share next time!
