Nature in the Singing Woods

Hubby took this of a Merlin Falcon

having a Dark Eyed Junco for lunch.

Very sad, but all God's creatures need food.

Too bad she couldn't have found a mouse..or

one of the crazy MOLES we have..

I'll not be posting much, as I will be starting 

chemo in mid January..

but check my  Pink Blog for my progress.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and yours

fondly

Put one foot in front of the other

I'm home !! Tis wonderful to be here

I'll be putting one foot in front of the other.

Tis a journey that God has set us upon, I am

so fortunate to have so many walk it with me.

fondly, Deena

at the feeders..lots more than you can see here.

That guy on the left is a Tufted Titmouse, getting some peanuts..I was hoping
