Male cardinal in the Magnolia liliiflora tree, already budding.
The weather here is typical for January, rain one day, sunny the next, but always
chilly with murmurings of possible snow which either never shows or surprises
us when we least expect it.
Little happenings in the garden excite me. Last evening, in the quiet of dusk,
I looked out the window at three young deer standing motionless on the front lawn.
Then the smallest came and started nibbling at my pansy/tulip pots - a no-no!
I grabbed the camera - sorry a bit blurry - then tapped on the window and he
trotted off to join his family.

I've been out of commission, and may continue to be, when it
comes to blogging or much else regarding computers.
comes to blogging or much else regarding computers.
Just seem to have lost my get up and go since the holidays.
I still have shoulder problems . . . . .but I shouldn't complain
as other family members and friends have much more to be
worried about where health is concerned.
The squirrels are looking fat, healthy and bushy-tailed.
The females are now pregnant and should have their babies in February.
This one I noticed this morning, perhaps a mom-to-be.
Wildlife all around lately. The fox wanders through the side garden and
crosses the street to the little wood, same one where the deer hang out.
Today is warmer with sunshine and I've just wandered around, pulling a
few weeds, trying to decide just where to prune the Japanese maple and
fig in late Winter ready for Spring.
As my little sign outside the front door reminds me. . . . . . .
"A garden is a thing of beauty and a job forever"
Problems with Google, Blogger, and now big changes with
'new' PicMonkey have just caused me to lose interest in my
computer. I'm too old to learn new tech stuff. I was happy with
what I had and was used to. Why do they do this . . . . . okay,
okay I know why, we all know why, but that doesn't help sort it
all out unless you live with a smart IT person!
I used to tell Bob I wish I'd married a plumber or an electrician - a
general contractor would be even better. . . . .I can see clearly now,
I should have tied the knot with a computer genius!
Meanwhile, I'm enjoying time reading some great books. . . . .I'll
share those with you in another post.
