Kansas Christmas Greetings

This is a special greeting to the New Mexico family from the Kansas family. We love you guys and missed you at this side of the family gathering!

How am I supposed to get any work done???

I've seen downy woodpeckers (like this one), flickers, nuthatches, brilliant cardinals, chubby juncos...right outside my office window this morning, sitting in the frosted redbud tree, eating at the suet feeder, flying about distracting me lots. I'm not getting much work done!

Brrrrrrrrrr!

Six degrees this morning -- but at least we don't have the 30+ winds and gusts that we had all day yesterday, blowing around about an inch of snow and making the roads, etc., slick!

I would guess that we're sending this your way in Pennsyvania and then Boston, so bundle up warmly, Shaffers and Kings.

Abby and Reyna were all snuggled together on their cushy pillow in the garage, keeping each other warm for the night.

Yay for sunshine today that perks up the spirits even if the temperature is cold! I guess it's almost winter.
