Deer in the snow!!!

When I was on my walk in Macken Park NKC, MO on Saturday January 16th I had a nice surprise. I saw eight deer on the hillside next to the park. Before I got close to them I thought they were the wild turkeys I see occasionally on that hillside. As I realized what I was seeing were deer I was so excited. I wished I had my camera with me. Since I didn't I found the photo above that very much resembles the scene.

I marvel at nature and love witnessing it on my walks.

Icicles stretching down the East side of our house Dec. 28th.

We have had quite a bit of snow this December. It is pretty. I am thankful I haven't had to drive in it though. The icicles are fun. They remind me of the icicles I saw when I was a child growing up in Ogden, Utah.

What a joy-filled Thanksgiving we had. It was nice to spent it quietly at home. May we all be able to feel the Thanksgiving spirit though the year. I am very thankful for Jess, our children/grandchildren, other relatives, friends, Jesus, the Earth, my job, my life and my spirit.
