how are you faring?

 Batman's annual peace wreath, hanging on the garage door.

I really appreciate his devotion to this tradition.

 Tea towel+trimming+hemming+curtain rod=cafe curtain.

 Half of a grapefruit, 

four holes poked around the edge of the peel

and kitchen string create a hanging bowl.

Filled it with leftover bacon grease and birdseed

and hung it outside the kitchen window...

Voila.

A snack station for chickadees.

The days get shorter,

the flurries keep flurrying.

The greens are gathered,

the lights are strung.

Steam rises from the mug of tea,

and the lists get written.

Carving out calm and peace...

How are you faring,

dearest readers, 

as we move deeper into the season

of the natural world's hibernation 

and our human time of celebration?

Be gentle with yourselves.

:-)
