That was the view off my deck a few evenings ago. It doesn’t get much prettier than that, in my opinion. I will take a winter sunset to a summer sunset any day of the week.
It’s the middle of December and so far Old Man Winter has been fairly kind to us. Any time it gets above 45 degrees with some sunshine, I take that as good weather. Winter is only a state of mind.
The usual yard animals have been able to pick and choose where they eat. The birds seem to be dining elsewhere. I guess they aren’t desperate enough to eat oil sunflower seeds. I won’t put that other stuff out. It makes weeds in the yard come spring. I like the volunteer sunflowers that come up.
I did set out some peanuts for the bushy tailed rats that visit us. Those got gobbled up. Does anyone have chipmunks? I don’t think I have ever seen one in my yard.
