Blue skies, where are you?

I want to see blue skies!

We've had too many cloudy days lately.

 My mood is turning cloudy.

Does the weather affect your mood?

Tell me I'm not alone.

I need to fill my days with cleaning out

closets or painting the beadboard for the

bathroom remodel.  We have everything

we need, we're just needing to give the carpenter

the go-ahead.  He's ready now...we're not.  There

are a few things on our end to do like get

the beadboard painted, rip off the old tiles, 

things like that.  Why are we stalling?  I think

because it's winter.  We I don't like the house in

disarray during the best of days, but winter?

Winter is gloomy enough without a huge mess to

deal with too.  Okay, enough of that.  

 I'll just have to be brave and get started, and know

that when this project is done that I will be 

so glad and the skies will be blue again.

In the meantime, let me look closer at the tree. 

 See the bird's nest?

  

It

I've been watching this nest since the leaves 

have fallen.  No matter how much it has rained

or how windy it has gotten, this little work of art

complete with the feather hanging under it 

is still hanging in there and it does appear 

to be hanging.  I'm curious which bird

crafted this nest.  

I don't think the nest belongs to this cardinal, 

but he flew onto a nearby branch just long 

enough for me to quickly snap his picture.

A bright spot in an otherwise cloudy day.

Until next time...
