Holiday Break

 

 

 What's that Mama??

OK...I'll tell them....

 

 

 

Mama says we are going to take a little break this week

so she can get all the way better...AND we can get things here ready and decorated for 2023.

 

 

 We hope everyone is having a wonderful Pawliday week,

and we'll see you next year!

(that's next week...teeheehee)

 

 

 

Nature Flashback Friday

 

 

I'm not sure if you heard, but there was a strong earthquake where we used to live in California. All our friends are ok, the electricity is back on, and things are working there way back to normal. Today though, we wanted to do a Nature Friday Flashback about the beautiful trees in Humboldt County...

~~~~~~~~

 

Happy Friday everyone! Today, in honor of the howliday season, I thought we would take a little look at part of our local Redwood forest!

 

 

Such tall trees..

 

 and what beautiful greenery on the forest floor!

 

 

 

 

Even the tree tops are a beautiful forest green!

 

 

 

I'm off to finish my Peppermint Puppachino.Thanks for joining me for our little look at our Redwood Forest.

New Mexico Skies on Nature Friday

  

Here in New Mexico the pretty Christmas lights aren't the only thing around here that sparkle! The sunrises and sunsets have also been putting on beautiful light shows!

 

Some of the sunrises have beautiful subtle colors like purples, pinks and yellows.

 

 

Other mornings things are a bit more bright and add some orange and gold.

 

 

...and then some days the light seems to explode in pretty oranges and yellows!

 

 

 The sunsets seems to be a bit more soft....

 

 

 There are still sunsets with golds and red...but the wispy clouds add a bit of softness to the mix

 

 

 

 Here is a peek at our pawliday decorations from our front door...with purples, reds and yellows still coloring the sky.

 

 

 

 This time of year it's nice to see nature sparkling, right along with the man-made sparkles!

Wishing all our friends a sparkly weekend!!

Decoration Happies

 

 

 

 

It's always fun finding places for our favorite decorations in a new

home!

 

 

 Junior, our little snowman ornament

 

 

Little Drummer, the nutcracker

 

 

Frosty, our big snowman ornament

  

 

 This cool truck is a new wax burner that makes the house smell like Christmas trees. He doesn't have a name...yet.

BOL!

 

 ....and, of course, Santa Claus!

 

Nothing makes me happy more than a home filled with

the Christmas Spirit!

  

We are joining Sandee at  Comedy Plus for the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop this week!

Naughty or Nice

 

 Sure, I may have a little bit of an attitude, a pretty big stubborn streak and don't always 

do what I'm told...

BUT

 

 

I am really, really cute!

 

 I'm pretty sure that

gets me on the nice list, right?

December Birdies on Christmas Card Nature Friday

 

Aloha and Happy Friday!!!

You might think, by my attire, that we  might be doing something trawpical today. But really, I just wanted to add some trawpical howliday flair while we looked at a couple of birds that have moved into our backyard for the cooler months.
 

The bird Mama and I like the most is the Male Northern Flicker. He is very skittish, and hard to get a picture of, but we all know the Mamarrazzi...they NEVER give up BOL!

 

 

His girlfriends like to visit the fountain almost every morning with the robins(probably to catch up on the birdy gossip)!

 

 

 We love the black "necklace" the flicker wears along with its rosy cheeks and speckled body!

 

Such a pretty bird, don't you think?? They are a member of the woodpecker family!

...and speaking of woodpeckers...

 

Mama and I caught this guy at the feeders  the other day!

 

 

 Mama thinks he is either a Ladder Back or a Hairy woodpecker! We watched him for 10 minutes or so and he let us get pretty close to him.

 

 

The little guy on the bottom right is most probably a white breasted nut hatch.

He is pretty nutty...he likes to hop around, upside down on the bottom of the suet feeders...

Silly little guy!

 

 

OH WAIT! I almost forgot, today is also Christmas Card Day! 

 

 

We  are  wishing all our pals a Very Happy

Pawliday Season!
