Gentle crystals fall
Dancing through the frost-filled air...
Winter's here again.
My favorite place to be these days is in my den, right next to a big picture window. With the knowledge that my honeys are safe and warm, hot chocolate to sip, a computer with which I can play, the most spectacular sight of snow blanketing the landscape and what seems like hundreds of birds flying in and out of the trees and my bird feeder...life is indeed good!

Thanks for checking in to "the vivere!" Hope your New Year has started on a positive note and that the symphony will continue!
'Til Soon,
