Twee is good right now - love that picture - reminds me of the Brambly Hedge books I used to read to the girls (loved them).
Can't feed our birds here as don't know if incoming folk would continue it, but will certainly be feeding them at our new home, and excited about what we might see - some pine trees on the steep slope away from our little bit of paddock (to be the orchard) so hoping to see Crossbills. They are seen at the Nature Reserve at Corsy Llyn, not too far away.
There you are you have a lot of good things to see in the New Year in the new abode. Think the older we get the more we return to childhood and the books read. Contemplating taking on Audible Books, but I detest Amazon and its need to rule the world of commerce.
Yes, sometimes when I read about the decline of birds I think well they seem to be doing alright in the gardens. All the berries on the holly trees have disappeared as well.
Birds are eating us out of house and home. Double-sided suet feeder on our deck has a line up of birds taking turns (variety of woodpeckers are always in the lead). Three large seed feeders on the lawn are being replenished every few days. Heated water dish kept busy, too. Had some pretty cold temps here in the past week.
Hope you have a Happy Christmas and that we all have a better New Year.
I don't have the same problem Mary, I think everyone feeds them in the village, and my sparrows have migrated to the front garden, because I cut down the three Virginia creepers which were starting to attack the house next door. Have a good Christmas with your family and for all of us hope there is a calmer New Year.
I like this twee! I have been enjoying "my" birds so much. At Christmastime so many of them, including the less frequent visitors, come to the garden, and it feels very happy having them around, enjoying their Christmas feast.
It's only the Ninth Day of Christmas, I think, so I will boldly say MERRY CHRISTMAS! And Happy New Year, too!
I think there needs to be a childrens story to go with that picture...........if only I could write!
ReplyDeleteI just love it for its sheer prettiness Sue and a complete antidote to what is happening.

DeleteWe do feed the birds here. The foods good for them and seeing them is good for us. Win win.

DeleteI cannot suspend my disbelief - rabbits don't live in trees. Happy Christmas to you too!
ReplyDeleteI suppose you don't believe in Father Christmas either! Best wishes to you both and enjoy your Xmas lunch. x
DeleteMerry Christmas Thelma and a Happy New Year x
ReplyDeleteThank you Rachel and the same to you. Keep safe. x
DeleteI had to wander off to Mr. Google to see what twee meant. It is a twee picture, but a bit of twee is not remiss in these days.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you, Thelma!
Exactly Debby, we need the softer side of life to get us through the present moment. Merry Christmas to you!
DeleteHappy Christmas Thelma!

Happy Christmas to you Aril, and may your bells ring out loud next summer.
DeleteHave a good Christmas Thelma - and here's to a good year of blogging in 2021
ReplyDeleteAnd a Happy Christmas to you Pat, and I hope the New Year goes better for you.
ReplyDeleteLove the richness of the red in that card and the shiny hair and the sweet little animals. Love it all.
ReplyDeleteYes you can't get past the over abundance of Christmas. I hope you and your family enjoy the festive holiday in that watery wonderland you call home.
