The last day of 2014 was cold, wet and just plain miserable for all intents and purposes.  Except for reading on the sofa, which is how I spent most of the day.  I read “Water for Elephants” for the second time.  Then I started “All Creatures Great and Small” for the fourth time.   James Herriot never fails to make me laugh, smile and cry.  A great advantage to having a poor memory is being able to read the same books over and over again and they are like brand new!  The point is, my walk was very brief because the weather was perfectly dreadful.

Here is what I saw.

Bon Jovi, thrilled to be outside in spite of the awfulness.  He and several of his cronies decided to join me for a short while.

Does he not have the coolest hair-do EVER?

His little girl friend, there to the left, her ‘do’ is pretty cool too.

I love this little Roo.  He is very….shall we say “amorous”, completely undeterred by his small stature.

Pictures of the pond we have each time it rains more than an inch. We have had the pond since around November first.

When I was 10 I would have walked thru this culvert with great anticipation and excitement brewing in my heart.  At 32 I am content to gaze at it from a safe distance and zoom in if needed.

Nosey feels the same way.

We have a big oak tree kinda by the ‘pond’. It has ferns growing on one side……
I heard a furious pecking and spotted a cute little woodpecker having a go at some bugs nearby.

We have quite a few of these little fellows that live here, I love seeing them!

And finally some fungi and moss….
Because I really can’t help myself.

Until next week folks, and lets cross our fingers for better weather, shall we?!
