Seems of late,
I haven\u2019t really had
so much to say<\/p>\n\n\n\n

this morning I make time to
catch up on some reading from writers
I
trust<\/p>\n\n\n\n

s\u2019pose this is the thing, these days
trust
in
your sources<\/p>\n\n\n\n

December,
wintery weather is upon us
as I’ve probably said before
I don\u2019t much like the cold
although a sunny day is always much easier to take
but a grey, blustery cold wind
and I am inclined to be
indoors<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we have so far, \u00a0but a dusting
of the white stuff
and temperatures have only just begun to dip
below the freezing point
but less hours of daylight do take
a little adjusting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have had to pause feeding the birds
as a couple of
unwelcome visitors showed up
in the garden
and though I know, they are but
fellow creatures
I am still hoping they might just
move along<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the hawk on the garden gate at the weekend
was indeed
a most welcome sight,
as I believe he keeps certain beings
in check
and we always appreciate
his majesty<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the downy woodpecker was in
for what little bits of seed
he could find
left over in a feeder
and he
is always quite lovely to see<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tend now to apologize, each time I
spot a friend
that I cannot replenish the seed
just yet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

around the house
still missing my big furry boy
as I well knew, I would
reminders of
great love<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that
lives on<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and most recently our fridge died
so we live like some kind of
privileged pioneers
with bits stashed here and there
until the new one
arrives<\/p>\n\n\n\n

our eldest son will have a birthday
next week,
it\u2019s hard to fathom, just how fast
time
can
travel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and,
thinking today that I hadn\u2019t spent much time
in the garden
(since the need \u2026 of cozy slippers)
I took my camera out
in the cold grey-ness
of the day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

fill my lungs
with the chill<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and looked for something beautiful
that might still
remain<\/p>\n\n\n\n

trusting again,
as I do
in simple things

like love

to find me \u2665<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
