JOY !

If you suffer greatly when you

have a toothache, it's only right

that you be joyful in equal measure

with the "untoothache".

--- Dawna Markova

This will be quick as I have several projects going and would like to finish one! I woke up yesterday with a bundle of energy and many new ideas. Today the energy is not as great, but still there. :o) I did finish the Christmas tree lights (now the best part, decorating it!) and spray painted several items. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekends, getting things done, but not being stressed about it.

I took this picture this morning. There were a large group of birds out, nibbling on the little seeds from some of my plants. I always go back and forth trying to decide if I should trim or not. This is why I usually don't......the birds. Anyway, there is one little one still in the birdbath. The others flew away. They are the little yellow "canaries" or that is what I call them.
