Only 27 days to go.


We are in a Winter Wonderland here in Ontario. The snow on our fifty maple trees looks like a postcard today. And you can see how our birds are out and about and happy to see the 'crazy bird lady' walking about. Did I mention I love chickadees. haha!

Here's how it looks this morning very early. That's the retired guy out filling feeders for me and leaving cat food for his beloved three crows.

Wilson and Annie know how to spend these snowy cold days.
This guy has no shame...NONE.

This pic is to prove that they do wake up once in awhile to see if there is anyone in the kitchen where their stinky goodness is kept.

I have put up a wee fake tree for now in the mouse house to see if the cats will ignore it.
So far so good but a real tree will come with interesting smells so I'm probably wasting my time.
But I do love having my woodland critters on it and here is one of my favorite.
Have you ever wanted to throw on some pearls and grab a glass of bubbly? Of course you have. ;-)

My little house collection is growing. I adore them and found a little white house to add to the Cluttered Country Cottage Christmas China Cupboard.
I'll show you next time.

I've been told that if anything stands still long enough at Fox Grove it just might end up decorated for Christmas.
And that goes for the old OH at the front of our woodlot.
This OH has been moved three times and scrubbed from top to bottom so why not?
And inside I have put an insulated box with a cozy blanket for any little critter that comes
along on those frigid days ahead in Ontario.
So far the food has been eaten everyday inside the door so I know something is very interested in this real estate. :-)


I hope everyone is enjoying the lead up to Christmas.
Today I'll be working on the twelve stockings I hang every year for the family and our two spoiled cats. A good plan for a snowy day.

be kind, Deb

  3. Hard to tell where one cat ends and the other begins! A bird eating from one's hand is a delight that I've just discovered; the feel of their wee feet on my fingers makes me giggle!

  5. This is such a beautiful post. It really does look like a winter wonderland there. I am amazed at how the little chickadees light on your fingers. That is so sweet. That pile of sleeping kitty cats made me laugh. Couldn't you just squeeze them both! That old outhouse gets prettier and prettier. I really meant to bring in all the Christmas boxes from the shop today and get started decorating...maybe tomorrow.

  7. Well, I'd decorate the outhouse too. Of course you would! And love the cats sleeping together. They get on and that makes me smile. But of course you know my favorite photos are the Bird Lady photos which still amaze the heck out of me. I am in awe.

  8. Those birds love you as much as the cats do! You have that special touch. Now you need to get the retired guy to hold his hand out with cat food and feed the crows from his hand!

    This is such a beautiful post showing your Winter Wonderland, the birds outside, cuddly cats inside and special Christmas decorations everywhere! Your blog is truly such a joy especially for those of us that do not live outside of the city like you do! Thank you for the joy you share!

  10. Oh Deb how lucky are you to get the Chickadees feeding from your hand - I try but no luck yet. Wilson & Annie are looking quite cozy with each other. The fur girls are too interested in anything out of the ordinary , so Christmas is introduced slowly, adding just a few items a day - trees go up, then a few days later the start of decorating them - nothing to peek their "we must own" reflex.

  13. I am sooo happy to find your blog again. I guess the last time I remember reading it was in 2015. Due to health issues and my old laptop crashing I lost track of you. To be honest I had forgotten a lot of the blogs I enjoyed so much. Well I have a new iPad that is much more user friendly so today as I was checking Facebook your blog came to mind and I wondered how you and your family were doing. Alas, I had forgotten the blog name so by a miracle I found you. Enjoyed catching up with you and was heartbroken that sweet Audrey had passed. I had to do the same thing to my sweet Boo. He was 17, blind and began having seizures. After a really bad one we decided it was time to say goodbye. Oh lord I miss him. Anyway, so glad to continue enjoying your blog and stay warm! ❤️ From South Alabama!

  19. Your winter wonderland is magical Deb!
    Those kitties are the sweetest sight, it's good that they get along.
    You have a huge heart in caring for all of the animals, and your grand littles have the most amazing grandma.

  21. I came over from Jeanie´s place. Oh, my, snow already! So far we are lucky with warmer temps here in Northern Germany.
    Your cats are very cute. One day I´ll have one or two, too.

  22. This post warms my heart so much! ❤️

    The photos you shared of the Winter Wonderland are spectacular. There’s nothing like this time of year to me. (Most think I’m strange for that)

    Your kitties are precious too! 😻 Thank you for this heartwarming story and photos. All the best to you and your family.
