Pleasant Ways To Spend Your Day

 If you ever need to lift your spirits, go outdoors and look up,

our sunsets have been spectacular.
Even our daytime skies have been very pretty...I find them to be very peaceful.

Even during the cold of winter, I spend time at the window photographing the birds.
This little Song Sparrow has a nest in this shrub, 
it is his/her favorite spot to hang out, and I enjoy watching it most days when I can.
It has been frigid cold, often too cold to open the window for pictures.


I started my new knitting project on Thursday, it's a very easy knit and I am enjoying it.
The Northwind Cowl by Laura Aylor

I probably should have turned the cowl around for the picture,
the bottom row in my picture is the top row in the pattern.
Meaning you start at the top and knit to the bottom.

I started another coloring picture this weekend but did not finish it.
I'll share a picture when I finish.

I made another batch of butter cookies Sunday.
It is the last batch I will make until next Christmas.

I viewed this picture on-line...
the waterfalls in Passaic, NJ which is north of me are frozen.
Such an oddity. 
I'm not really sure in which form they are prettier,
free flowing or frozen solid.

My Kansas City Chiefs won 
their playoff football game on Sunday.
What a game, a real nail bitter...
they won in overtime 42 - 36.
