Happy New Year to all my readers and fellow bloggers, from Island View, New Brunswick. As you can see, not an island in sight, just trees and snow. And it’s still coming down.
Here’s one of the bird feeders, aka the squirrel diner. It comes into its own in summer when we can get to it more easily. The crows love to perch om this one, too. A family of five, soon, I suspect, to expand, has taken over the garden.
It’s hard to believe that these are color photos, not black and white ones. Not even a cardinal to lighten them on a day like this. We have a pair living near us and they have been in to visit, as have the deer. Wonderful to see against the snow. But not today, though.
Now this is how to do black and white, with just a little bit of color. This comes from my very creative friend, the line painter Geoff Slater and is part of one of his drawing exhibitions. I wish I could draw like that. I also wish I had a pair of cardinals in my bird feeder.
And I wish …… for peace and love and joy and health and happiness for all my friends in this new year that has now so proudly entered.

Thank you, Roland. Cricket starting again soon. Oz / India and Eng in Windies. Then the 6N, the big summer bash, and the WC, and the RWC … who needs politics when we have bread, wine, and circuses?
