As winter moves along.

The thought of a whole new year unfolding in front of us is quite exciting, isn't it. I have so much to plan and a business that I hope will begin to grow in the next few months. I did have some cat-sitting over Christmas which I enjoyed immensely. Three kitties, Leroy, Neo and Serena; all fabulous felines. I hope to share photos of them soon.

We have had extreme weather lately; cold with a copious amount of snow. I think I have already had enough of the white stuff and am longing for spring. Oh, beautiful spring. But we have months and months of it ahead here in Ontario, Canada. I must buck up and face it head on as we Canadians do. At least I can enjoy the surroundings here at the little mouse-house.

An apple for the woodpeckers and blue-jays.
These apple holders are found at most bird supply shops and of course on-line, too.
We go through an apple a day here.


The birds and wild-life around our property are a big concern during these cold months but they are coping well. The squirrels and rabbits look healthy and the hundreds of birds are a daily delight to see at the feeders.

Just a few photos for you from our wintry wonderland. The birds are really enjoying the peanut butter suet and the black sunflower seeds.

'Bottoms up'

I'd like to send you over to visit The Marmalade Gypsy. If you have not followed along with her over Christmas you may want to read back a bit on her posts. Jeanie loves Christmas and entertained her followers with her glittery decor and festivities. She is a very busy lady as you will soon find out. Jeanie's blog is one I recommend highly as a fun and joyful place to spend a bit of time. And you'll meet Lizzie who happens to be a favorite of our audacious one. :)

Well, it's a new year and I'm bound and determined to get healthier so time for a smoothie.
