A View From a Window -- Thursday, December 8, 2011

Things don't look too different this week -- I didn't post last week because absolutely NOTHING looked different.  We did have a couple of freezes and a bit of snow earlier in the week so some of the plants -- the purslane to be exact -- are pretty well gone.  Other wise, just leaves and doves and birdseed that the squirrel likes to throw all over.  Wish I could have gotten a snap of him -- cheeky thing he is.  It is hilarious to see him and a couple of sparrows sitting on the bird feeder tray -- him making it swing with his chubby self.  I love watching the wildlife in the yard but, sadly, one of the ginger cats that tromp through on a daily basis was hit by a car last week.  I will miss him -- he made the squirrel duck for cover!


I also thought I would add this photo -- a view of The Village!

A View From A Window -- Or In My Case -- A Door


A while back, Jane from The Maple Syrup Mob began a weekly Thursday post of a photo taken from the same window.  It should be interesting to see how the scenery changes throughout the year.   She invited anybody who wants to join in to--well, join in.  So, here I am, playing catch up, as usual so I have two weeks worth of photos.  I will honestly try to do better this week but, in all fairness to me, this last Thursday I had to chop pickles and make dressing and quietly supervise the bird roasting or rather smoking -- my hubs does a mean turkey in the kamado.

Anyway, here we go.  These photos are taken from my back door, with me inside, of my back garden.  It is  a little shabby right now because the weather was so horrible over the summer and almost everything went dormant and now it thinks it is spring and everything is coming out -- including the weeds.  There is no keeping up with the weeds.  The first three photos were taken Thursday week.

The next two photos were taken this past Thursday, Thanksgiving Day.

I don't see much difference between the two except I think the hollies have more berries in the more recent photos.  Can't wait to see what is left of the garden this next week after these horrible winds we are having.
