Much to my surprise and delight, when I awoke this mid-morning (off work, so slept really late), it was snowing, hard. Big flakes were falling, making our back yard white and fluffy. Shortly after this, I hung our brand new bird feeder, and filled the suet feeder. I hope the birds come back (we took …

Today's Tranquil Thursday is a video instead of a still picture. Not far from where I live, there is a wetland park, with walking trails over and around the ponds and marsh. Enjoy a quiet wetland interlude. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WApE7wXUlYM
