Tuesday was the shortest day of the year less than 8 hrs of daylight...unless you live in Fairbanks Alaska, where it was only 3 hours and 42 minutes.
Hello fellow bloggers, this blog will post on the eve of the holiday so I wanted to get it written up a little early so I could just chill and enjoy my eve with nothing pending, it has been an easy week but I will share some bits of my week with you all...
I have been cutting some of my home grown salad greens here and there although winter is not my favorite time of year for greens, but I grew all this so I need to start eating it, so I made up a salad...the Arugula is very hot so it has be tempered with some other green like Spinach, Simpson, and Romaine.
The pot of Cilantro is also an added benefit, I add it to soups, chili, and sometimes in the salad as well it provides a nice punch for the pallet. I enjoy having a little food growing around my place even if its only greens.
A sunny days brings every one out to warm up...
I'm over run by these chubby critters...this is why you see wire cages around all my pots
Sweet Annie
One day I drove out to one of my favorite fields...Its full of dried Sunflower heads,
I picked one up off the ground...
I see various birds but it's private property so I normally can't get much of a look at the birds just distant views,
this come came home with me...
Didn't take long....
And I keep hoping some Goldfinch will come by...
One dirt road goes through the field area so I can bird from the van window This is part of my 5 mile radius

You can always count on finding some beautiful flowers at the cemetery
Not to mention some fun birds hanging out
This cemetery is a rural one and the land next to it, the AG fields back up to, and on this day I found a bright spot in the brown drab....
The Little Palm Warbler...even tho this is not the State bird of Florida it should be..they are so plentiful there and I'm glad to see them increasing in numbers here also.
