Weather Stick..

This is a neat gadget..The Woodsman's Weather Stick..

and it really works..

The idea is you hang it on an outside wall or door casing, exposed to the weather. Stick will bend "down" to foretell foul weather and "up" for good weather..I don't know what kind of wood it is, but it does work.. We haven't put it outside yet..but in all honesty, I just have to look outside and I know what kind of weather we are having..Will be fun to check out in the spring..

Till next time, keep looking up.

Fingerprint Friday..

Haven't been able to use the internet because of the storm..Finally got it back..Well, after the storm, I was checking out the sunrise in the east, went to the patio door which faces the west and behind the trees, was a glow from the sun.

You can see the orange looking light. It was so beautiful and something so different, I thought it would make a beautiful Fingerprint from God..as fast as it came, it was gone..I consider myself very lucky to have seen it and so thankful..

Be sure to check out Pampering Beki's blog and see what other Fingerprints people put up..

Shadow Shot Sunday..

Sorry Hey Harriet, I have snow shadows again..I don't know where to go anymore..

nothing but snow all around me.

My little shed had a delicate shadow from the tree...next is little dips in the snow, they made a cute shadow and my dear Shamrock is last..next to a big clump of snow..The way things are going here with snow, the Shamrock is the only green I will be seeing for quite awhile..forgot what my grass looks like.

Join Hey Harriet for a fun time..This shadow shot business is catching on, so many are joining in..

Fingerprint Friday..

Fingerprint Friday with Pampering Beki..

I was having such a time, thinking what I would do for today..We are having nothing but snow and more snow..I was looking out the patio door and the little birds were just having a time with the bird feeder. What a sweet Fingerprint from God..I know I have used birds before, but they bought such happiness to me today, I am using them again..
The snow is beautiful, but I have seen enough and was feeling that way as I looked out the door..then the little birds started coming to the feeder..it changed my whole thought pattern..Instead of complaining, I started being thankful..

So, not only do I thank the birds, I thank Pampering Beki for her wonderful idea of Fingerprint Friday...there are no coincidences..

Something Interesting..

Unusual Red Glow Over Minnesota Credit & Copyright: Tyler Blessing
Explanation: What in heaven's blazes is that? When landing in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA in 2002, just before his flight ascended above cloud level in the early evening, passenger Tyler Blessing saw and photographed "huge curved sheets of glowing light extending from cloud to ground." The glow appeared unlike other unusual lights more typically seen, including crepuscular rays, anticrepuscular rays and the glory. A leading possibility, mentioned initially by the photographer, is that the light sheets are setting sunlight scattered off of falling rain. Alternatively, the phenomenon could just be a peculiar window reflection. APOD readers, who have previously shown an impressive ability to pool their collective intelligence to create a better understanding of photographed sky anomalies, are invited to discuss this online. It might help to know that EXIF data indicates that the image was captured on 2002 September 23 at about 8:07 pm in the evening (local time), and that the camera was reported to be pointing north of west at that time. The oval on the ground, visible in the lower right of the above image, is Canterbury Downs race track.

Now you have to admit, this is interesting..A red glow in the sky..If I was in the plane and saw this, my mind would have gone in high gear and don't know what I would have thought..but it would have made me nervous. So much we don't know and fun learning new things..

Birds And More Snow..

We are having a little snow for a change..Started this morning and hasn't stopped yet..It isn't much, but enough..You won't believe this, but it is only snowing in one line and we are in the line..to the left and right of us, they have sunshine..Had fun trying to take a few pictures of the chickadees..

The last picture is funny..One is leaving the feeder and another is coming in..Didn't know I caught them, till I downloaded the picture..

Shadow Shot Sunday...

I have gotten very sloppy blogging, but try to always be here for my Shadow Shots with Hey Harriet..
So we begin with the lovely birdbath, nearly buried in the snow..then I noticed one of my lights was giving a shadow near my Blessed Mother picture..then on to my wonderful heart..Got a little panicky this week, wondering where I was going with it. Husband was on the roof shoveling off snow and was going to ask him to take it up with him, to get a shot..but I heard a little cussing from the roof and decided, I better be happy with the curtain shot..Make sure you visit Hey Harriet and see all the wonderful blogs that have joined in. Looking for shadows becomes habit forming..This is worse than chocolate..
