Mom: Our daughter's First Real Christmas
Technically this is her 2nd Christmas; however, since she was only
4 months old on her first Christmas we called 1972 her First Real
Christmas. This picture is engraved in my mind forever. As you can
see by this picture, she was very surprised. Truly Christmas through the
eyes of a child.
The next picture is what she was looking at that had her so excitedNote we had the Christmas Tree in her playpen to keep the inquisitive
hands of a 16 month old safe.

Favorite Felines Under the Christmas Tree
Madi never got in the tree...probably too undignified for a Diva.
However she was obsessed with bows. I'm purrty sure kitty slobber
would petrified anything. Usually the bows were stiff
as a board.
Madi loved sitting on this beautiful tree skirt crocheted by
Dad of Madi's Mom, Margie
Milky-Way was a tree climber. We always put our tree up a few days
w/o decorations
so that he could get the climbing out of his system.
His first Christmas he was about 6 months old. We came home one
day to find him about 3/4 of the way up sitting on a limb happy
as a clam.
Nature Friday back to present times at Shelley Lake
Even without leaves this tree's gray limbs against the sky are eye catching.
I love the tall pines full of green needles reflecting in the water.

Thankful and Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #50
Today we join
I am very thankful for crazy unseasonal NC weather. As we say, if you don't like our weather wait five minutes and it will change.
Sunday, December 26th, we met favorite Sis and BIL of Angel Madi for a picnic at Bill Fay Park. It was 70 degrees. On May 31, 2021 we met the there too BUT the temperature was 53, rainy and windy. A good time was had by all. So good to see them in a safe pretty setting.
Angel Sammy and Teddy find such inspiring photos for us
Here is today's inspiration
She stands on Hatteras Island in the coastal City of Rodanthe, NC
Her tale is told in ebbs and tides of the Sea.
So grand was she, in 2008 Hollywood made her the star of
For years and years she weather coast storms she stood proud and tall**
The views from all her windows were breathtaking...
Til one day the sand and dunes where she stood
were covered under the Atlantic for good.
**This is the home on Hatteras Island. I think it is the same home in our photo inspiration minus the blue awnings.

Happy Tuesday Trek
Two New paintings along NC Museum of Art
Please give my husband a high five ✋ for spotting the interesting view in the photo on the right. As we approached, he noticed the UNIQUE angle of the stack thru the overhang
You've seen the Smoke Stack before; however, over the last few months
a small information center for the NCMA was constructed just in front of it.
You might remember seeing this in the past.
It reminds me of a Jack in the game of Jacks.
I like it against the very blue NC Sky
The above photo reminds me of a 'conversation' bubble.
Maybe it is for selfies??

Awww Monday and Sparks
At first glance, I thought there was just one Great Blue Heron in this photo. After I cropped it I said Awww there are three
I have a star near each one I see
And I think there there are two juveniles, one behind the adult in front and one in front of the adult on the right.
