Thank you...

A hearty thanks to whoever is the mysterious benefactor who sent me the "thank you" virtual LJ gift!

Hugs.

To an online friend who has brightened my life since we met - hope your coming year is wonderful, creative, and fulfilling in every way.

My neighbourhood...

I'm doing two things this afternoon that I've meant to do for months. Well, today is the day.

The first thing is to defrost the freezer. Seriously necessary.

The second thing was to feed the birds outdoors. Every day when I give my Little Feathered Guys fresh seed, I put their leftover seed from yesterday in a small pot, with the intention of scattering it by the canal for the wild birds.

I went to do that, and took my camera with me, because there were skaters on the canal, and a nice feeling in the (cold) air, and still some sunshine left in the day. My pictures:

(4) ( More skaters )
