This little time~worn birdie on a stick adds some whimsy to our winter wonderland...
I snapped this pic of our resident woodpecker some days ago when the snow was still fluffy... He is soooooo handsome!*!*!
Bird Feeder just outside our kitchen window...
A gorgeous cardinal waiting his turn on the feeder...
This is "last year's" roadside vignette at our driveway entrance... My husband surprised me some years ago on Christmas - with the AwEsoMe Black Crows - out in the snow - Christmas Morning... The Crows are a permanent fixture, year round, on an old stump at our driveway entrance...
We had one of "The BeSt" Christmas Eves this year ~ just the "3" of us...
Quite Nostalgic ~ got out the "Old 1960's Phonograph" & played records as we opened our gifts... I just loved the "scratchy background sound"!*!*! Good Bye C-D's!!!
***The thick old "78" Bakelite records in their paper sleeves***
A belated Merry Christmas to you! As your "almost" neighbor in ND, I empathize with the weather, hibernation, on/off with the gear, etc...but those birds...fabulous!! If it weren't snowing sideways here today, we might actually get to see some!!
ReplyDeleteHave a joyous 2010!!
Hi Jeanine... I spent Christmas watching all of our beautiful birds too... Nature is such a big part of our lives as well... love the old 78's... I inherited my dad's that he and I used to listen to for hours... sweet memories... Bisous... Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteI had meant to dig out a 40's Christmas LP (33) that had belonged to my mother. I love the music on it, but there was so much going on the week leading up to Christmas that I totally forgot.
ReplyDeleteI have a few of those old 78's. I bought them a few months back for a dime or so. The plan is to use them for artistic purposes, but we'll see.
Question; I had never thought about it....Are all 78's made of bakelite? Is there a way to tell if they're bakelite or some other plastic?
78rpm records were made of shellac, not bakelite
