Now This Was A Storm...Whew!

Monday, Dec. 27 at 12:31 p.m. ET, the GOES-13 satellite captured this visible image of the powerful low pressure system that brought a blizzard to the Northeast and snow from Georgia to Maine. Some of the snowfall can be seen over South and North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and southeastern New York.

Sending Christmas Greeting To All..

Our Christmas Card this year and I send it to all of you..

May God send His blessings to all of you for a Healthy, Happy, Loving year..

Snowing.

It is snowing and wind is blowing..The Cardinal looks like he is hanging on, so he doesn't get blown off the bar.

What a beautiful site he is. The female Cardinal isn't far away. They are always together and I believe Cardinals mate for life.

Even though snow is not my favorite kind of weather..When I look out and see the Cardinals, they brighten up everything. Makes for a happy, thankful day.

Making Christmas Things.

I have neglected my blog..All for a good cause. I have been making Christmas toys for the grandchildren. The patterns are from Lion Brand yarn..They have so many fun things to do. I have a giraffe pattern, that I am in the middle of and racing to finish. Ten grandchildren makes for fun. Even if the older ones are in their teens, they enjoy anything I give them, especially when made with love.

A few pictures of some of the toys..

Fingerprint Friday Sun Rise.

It is so interesting watching the sky..This is this morning. First a little color, then all is gone. What beautiful Fingerprints from God, all in a couple of hours. Right now, you would never know these pictures were this morning's sun rise..Sun is out and clear skies.

Be sure to check out Pampering Beki for other Fingerprints.

It is always enjoyable putting up Fingerprints from God..so many I would have missed, because I would not have been looking for them.

Update on the Meteor Shower..

Well, my dear friends..The Meteor Shower was a bust here in Maine..We had rain and I mean rain..I have a flood on the side of my house and I am waiting for a few ducks to land..
Then I say.."Is the glass half empty or half full.".. It could have been snow..

So on that thought , I thank God for all the rain..

Fun With A Few Icicles.

Having a little fun with some icicles hanging off our deck..Think I will try it again today..

Isn't it amazing, how much beauty we can find through something we take for granted? I think there is a lesson here..

Look What Is Happening In The Sky...

AURORA WATCH: High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras on Dec. 10th and 11th when a solar wind stream is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. NOAA forecasters estimate a 20%-50% chance of geomagnetic activity.
GEMINID METEOR SHOWER: This week, Earth is entering a stream of debris from asteroid 3200 Phaethon, source of the mysterious Geminid meteor shower. Although the shower's peak won't come until Dec. 13th and 14th, people are already seeing a smattering of bright shooting stars. Fredrik Broms photographed this Geminid streaking over the snowy hills of Kvaløya, Norway, on Dec. 7th:

All this information came from Spaceweather.com...What a geat site..Keep your eyes open for all the action in the sky..plus a wonderful site to keep bookmarked..

Since this is near Christmas..I say, it is God saying Merry Christmas to all of us..

The First Snowfall..

I know it is going to happen, but always hopeful that it might miss us..the first snowfall..Oh well, we have been lucky, so far..Now the winds are going to pick up..Oh dear, that can make driving dangerous..everything turns to ice..

Our little guys on the side deck play music..and it is so cute..Our #2 daughter/husband gave us this set and it is adorable..Neighbors probably think we are going through second childhood..but who cares..We are young at heart..

This is Quite the Cloud.

This picture was taken by Sean Heavey, an amateur photographer.

He witnessed this cloud in July, in Glasgow, Montana, USA..

Now there is nothing I enjoy more than taking pictures of the sky..But if I saw this coming at me, I would be history. It is terrifying.

Bless Mr. Heavey and his camera, for if it was me, I would be in my cellar, saying a few prayers.

Fingerprint Friday.

For Fingerprint Friday, I put up three plates I have painted over the years. As we get prepared to celebrate Christmas, a wonderful time of the year.

I have been getting so tired of towns/schools not letting you say Merry Christmas/Christmas Tree. Only Happy Holiday/Holiday Tree..I am sorry, it is a Christmas Tree and Merry Christmas..the celebration of Christ's birth..A Man that did nothing but spread love/peace/care for fellow man..why do they want us to lose that beautiful example?

So for Fingerprint Friday..I say this..May all that believe in Christ..be proud of Him..
"For God so loved this world, He gave His only begotten Son."

Happy Hanukkah To Our Jewish Friends.

The original Temple menorah had seven candles, to reflect seven days of God's creation of the world, plus the day of rest. The extra candle is used to light the candles.

Some of the Menorahs today, have the eighth candle in the middle, like the picture shows..for lighting the other candles.

Be sure to read the story of how this wonderful holiday came about..

Wishing all Our Jewish friends..A Happy Hanukkah..

My Little Friend.

When we went shopping, parked the car and here they come..Seagulls..looking for a hand out. I have to admit, they give me a good laugh.

This guy was talking away to me and I was lucky to catch a couple of pictures. Some people think they are a pest, but I enjoy them. Everything has its place on earth.

Full Moon

Last night's moon was beautiful..I had to take a few pictures and will admit, I thought I would freeze..The wind was blowing so strong and there is a bite in the air..Winter is on its way. Woe is me.

Fingerprint Friday.

Fingerprint Friday..You never have a problem finding a beautiful Fingerprint from God..

This was yesterday after another storm..wind/rain..then the sun rises in the morning..It was so

beautiful on the trees in the backyard. The color was just an orange glow. What a beautiful

Fingerprint and a very happy picture.

Moon Peeking From Behind The Trees.

The Moon was in such a nice place, behind the two trees. Thought it made a nice picture.

Not a cloud in the sky, just the moon going by..

A very peaceful picture.

Veteran's Day

Today, I want to honor the Veterans, living/dead, that have helped to keep us safe.

Where would we be without them? All the wonderful men/woman that

gave so much for our wonderful America. And to our allies, that stood beside us..Thank you so much for your unselfish sacrifice.

Pretty Sunset.

What a pretty sunset we had. Just a few clouds dancing in the sky.

We had quite the storm and was happy to see this sunset.

A Thought For Today.

I just had to share this positive thought today.

This person was referring to a race..He said, "If you look at how others are doing next to you, you will never finish the race". Think about that for a minute..How many times do we have an idea, but get sidetracked..only to never do a thing about our idea..we lose.

For some reason this hit me and I had to share it with all of you..I have been sidetracked, so many times..and I realized what I have done wrong..Hope this little bit of information will help all of you that have had wonderful ideas and didn't follow through. Just remember it is never too late to start again. But this time keep focused.

Fingerprint Friday

I had this on my blog a few days ago, but I feel it is worth using for Fingerprint Friday.

Click on the picture.

I was in the front yard taking pictures and the sky was cloudy. I saw something white and aimed the camera. When I came in the house and downloaded, this is what I saw.

It is an interesting photo, I think and a wonderful Fingerprint from God.
