Our church performed its Christmas pageant this past Sunday. I played the piano for some of the songs, and generally managed the "musical side" of the whole affair. These are some photos of the kids from their dress rehearsal.

Well, here she is......I took these pictures of Miss Moosie about a month ago, and we finally figured out how to extract some of the photos off my cell phone. Unfortunately, that's all I had on me at the time, when I pulled out of the driveway and saw her in our side yard. It would have been great to run back in and capture her with the good camera, but then I would've been late for class....

Until the cold weather hit, we were getting lots of visitors to our yard, such as the little squirrel and nuthatch I've posted here. I've become thoroughly convinced now that a birdfeeder is absolutely worth what little trouble they take to maintain. The variety of critters they bring to your yard is amazing, and a great opportunity to learn about the local wildlife in every new place we live! Of course, the bigger critters aren't generally attracted by a feeder....in fact, the one that visited our house was much more interested in the trees in the front yard. We're working on uploading her picture to the site, but all I had on me at the time was my cellphone camera, and they take terrible photos (and they're not so good at transferring those photos either!). Stay tuned though.....
