Winter Warmers
It is winter and we have had our first snowfall already. My sister's home is nicely warmed up with the natural glow and crackle of the open log fire. It beckons one to cozy up with a mug of hot chocolate.

I See You
Today I went on my first birding experience. I helped the local Sydenham Field Naturalists do their Christmas Bird Count in the Blenheim/Rondeau Circle. In total there were 106 different bird species identified and thousands of birds counted. We spotted this Northern Saw Whet Owl in a cedar tree near Guilds.

The Tundra's Banana Belt
This weekend our temperatures are in the 50's. Can you believe it, it is the middle of December! The Huron Gravel Pit ponds around the corner from us in Pinehurst have been the sanctuary for thousands of migrating Tundra Swans. With corn in the fields and so warm out, I think they have decided to stay.

Shine Bright
This week
we will be crazy busy putting the tree up and decorating the house, attending seasonal
celebrations, luncheons, parties and shopping. I'll need to remember the true reason for the season.

Adeste Fideles
Angels have been popular Christmas tree toppers
and ornaments for a long time to represent the host
of angels from the Nativity.
This has been the custom of our family Christmas tree.

Angels We have Heard on High
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Belaying a Rope
To fully secure your boat you have to tie it correctly. A cleat hitch is
one of the basic sailing knots and it is used to attach the line of
your boat to a cleat on the dock. The size of your boat does not matter
as a cleat hitch can be used for either small or big boats. To make a
good hitch is considered an art for many.

Beacon of Light
One-eyed sentries standing tall
dare to challenge every squall,
to be a beacon in the night;
A guide, a friend, dependable light.
dare to challenge every squall,
to be a beacon in the night;
A guide, a friend, dependable light.
Raging Nature can never douse
The welcoming beam of a lighthouse.
A fortress planted at the shore
Undaunted security at any hour.

Shrooms
The leaves are raked and the grass has had it's last cut of the year. We have not had a frost yet and the mushrooms have decided to grow in the grass.
