Grazing Cardinal

We have had so much rain and dampness recently that the wet birdseed sprouted in the tray. 
Wasn't it quite the festive look with the cardinal?

Missouri Robins


Missouri was full of robins and starlings! They were heading south, but it seemed they were in no hurry to get there. The robin above was enjoying the late afternoon sun in the top of a sycamore.

Doc, Doc, Deuce!



Our second son has earned his PhD! We travelled to Columbia, MO in late December to see him hooded, the ceremony at graduation. Both of our sons are Eagle Scouts and now both are Docs. We could not be more proud of them for the fine young men they have become.

Giant Rocking Horse

We came upon this giant rocking horse in Thomasville, Georgia while doing some Christmas shopping. The little girl and her mother seemed to be having a good time.

Frosty Sells Christmas Trees

I am not altogether sure of how this giant snowman face was constructed, but it is an attention-getter, for sure.

The Magic Tree


On our recent visit to Columbia, Missouri, we were encouraged to see the Magic Tree. It is a large cherry tree in a shopping square that has had every branch carefully wrapped in tiny colored lights.  It was amazing! The man responsible for it has been practicing for fifteen years.
