I think I caught the only sunshine we're going to see today. A bit of golden sun came through my kitchen window making shadows of my pinecone garland and birchbark snowflake hanging across the window.
The pinecones stay up through the winter, and then I must really attend to the kitchen curtains I've neglected for the past ten or more years!
The sunshine was there for only a few minutes, and now has gone behind a dense layer of cloud that I see stretched far across to the west. Temperatures are on the rise again after a very bitterly cold week with high winds. Now that we're into February, I doubt we'll get any good snow cover this year.
Today will be back to decluttering again after an unsatisfactory visit with my dad yesterday. I could only rouse him from his sleep enough for him to say "It's cold in here", and then he drifted off again. I spent my visit tidying up his room ... ie. going through his closet, desk and bureaus to search for things he has hidden away. Yesterday it was the thermostat that he ripped off the wall ... again :[
I may or may not head down to the marsh today to get a few more pictures of these little guys ...
There was lots of sunshine down at the marsh earlier this week, and all the little critters were enjoying it.
The blue jays in the birches were so pretty against that winter blue sky.
Happy Sunday Everyone!
Linking up with Karen at My Little Home and Garden
for Sunlit Sunday!
Hi Wendy, I live in central Ky. and sunshine has been a real luxury these days. Love all your photos but that first one is my favorite. Great job. Have a great week with many blessings.
ReplyDeleteHello Wendy, pretty sunlight images. You have to enjoy the sunshine while it last. Cute captures of the chickadees, they are adorable. Happy Sunday, enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the sunlight while you can. Love the little birds. So lucky to have a place to walk and find critters! Happy SunLit Sunday!
ReplyDeleteAs always good pictures. Remember Tuesday is Groundhog Day and you don't want the Groundhog to see his shadow, so no sun is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your Dad, it's so very hard when our parents age and leave us mentally.
Lovely chickadee photos. The sun tried to come out here this morning but it never really made it. The temperatures are rising about zero Celsius and the clouds are moving in for some promised rain! That might be goodby to the bit of snow that is left.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos ! We saw a bit of sunshine today to but now it is raining like mad and mucky out as the temps rise to +7 or 45F and the ground is thawing and goodby to the tiny bit of snow we have left . Thanks for sharing , have a good day !
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that things were not so good with your Dad. Hugs my dear. Glad that you have found some other sunny moments to capture this week though. xxxx
ReplyDeleteLovely photos filled with light. The little birdies are so cute!
ReplyDeleteYou took good advantage of the bit of sunshine. Lovely photos. The little chickadees are such sweet birds. Sorry about your Dad and his decline. It's hard to watch. I hope February brings warmer weather for you.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy, I'm your latest member. Just dropped in to view your blog. I just love your photos, beautiful. I'm a bird lover too. I'm looking forward to spending more time in your blog. Take care!

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your dad. On Thursday we had bitter cold and very high winds, but thankfully that has cleared. Still cold for us, especially in the mornings. Sunshine definitely makes a difference. Hope more is coming your way. Happy February!
ReplyDeleteThe sun has been in short supply around here too, but the good news is it is now February. We should be inching our way forward to better weather. I'm sorry the visit with your father didn't go well. It must be very distressing for you. I hope today is all sun and blue sky, and you are able to get out for that walk!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo's Wendy, we are having very little sunshine here too but so much wind. Sorry to hear about your Dad hopefully he will be as bright as a button next time you go to visit. Have a great week. xxx
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to see that the pine cone garland is still up because I love it! xx
ReplyDeleteYour pine cone garland is sweet Wendy. The morning sun is now shining in the living room window to one corner which delights me as I know it is moving farther east. So nice to see the chickadees and is that a beaver in the bullrushes? Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures Wendy...
ReplyDeleteSO sorry about your Dad...it must be so painful to watch your parent deteriorate like that...i sure hope I don't subject my kids to that...but, I guess you never know,eh?
enjoy our week...
Plenty of sunshine today..
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Winter sunshine is appreciated the most, isn't it? Love your pinecone garlands. Your winter photos are beautiful. Sorry about your Dad - it is such a lonesome and lost feeling, I know. Those drives home are the worst....Here's a hug. xo Karen

I love the photos of the sun casting a lovely golden glow on your walls, Wendy. One of those perfect photo snapshots of a moment in time.
ReplyDeleteI always love your photos Wendy - but especially the ones you take in nature. Just so beautiful! You do a great job capturing things. ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry it wasn't a successful visit with your Dad. I feel so for you, and you know I can relate. May the woods and other moments keep bringing you other peace.
Blessings on the rest of the week Hon! xoxo
I'm sorry to read that your father has his struggles, which means that you share them. On a cheerier note, I really like your idea of having a pine cone garland decorating your window throughout the winter. The chickadees are beautiful too, Wendy!
