The dark-eyed junkos (photo above) have been really enjoying the bird feeder... 
as are the cardinals, woodpeckers, blue Jays, finches, orioles, and wrens.
Which just reminds me how very much I have to learn about birds... and so I keep a bird identifying book near the window.

Most every morning when I look out; I can see fresh deer prints in the snow... and I love it.
It is a wonderful thing living here. 

I am also very glad to have my laptop back up and running... it ended up being somewhat of a costly fix... but I am grateful.
AND... BAJ was able to save all the links on my blog reading list... and .. .
as I've not been able to post them for a couple weeks on "Friday Finds"...
 I thought I would include a list today.


---as a BONUS of sorts; here is a link to a video project that I came across. It's wonderful.
