My Life with Photographs

It has been 12 years since I got married to a man who got overdose with patience. I mean, really, he is the only person I knew who has lots and lots of patience, not only with me but to others around him. I am blessed to have him. Today is Dec. 12(12/12) and it's my 12th year wedding anniversary. God is good! This is Kong (aka Kovu, Kolu)When we arrived here, our good neighbor saw our two dogs and was happy to see them. She said those dogs can scare off the cats who roam around her back yard. But little did she know we have a cat too, oh uh! This is Kong, setting pretty on her back porch.

My idea of a perfect Christmas Is to spend it with you In a party Or dinner for two Anywhere would do Celebrating the yuletide season Always lights up our lives Simple pleasures are made special too When their shared with you Looking through some old photographs Faces and friends we'll always remember Watching busy shoppers rushing about In the cool breeze of December Sparkling lights, all over town Children's carols in the air By the Christmas tree A shower of stardust on your hair I cant think of a better Christmas Than my wish coming true And my wish is you'd let me spend my whole life with you My idea of a perfect Christmas is to spend it with you

When we moved down here from Fairbanks Alaska, we started a new chapter of our lives. Now, I must say, the first chapter is almost done. We have decided to put our house in the market and move overseas, once this house is sold. That's all I can say for now. I'm looking forward for the second chapter. Abby, my girl, she will be an international dog pretty soon.

My friend Angela mentioned about feeder for squirrel that is hard for them to get the seeds out. So, we did some experiment and as you can see, the picture says it all. At first we thought the squirrel got stuck in there, but after few minutes, my husband went out there to check. When he got close to the feeder, the squirrel had quickly jumped out and ran. Happy December 1st everyone. 

It was such a big change and I was amazed on how much the snow milted and gone for just over night. The first picture was taken yesterday (Thanksgiving Day) and I'm sure there was at least two inches of snow in the ground. But today (Black Friday)  this morning when I looked outside, the snow was gone, gone with the wind . Anyways, I found it interesting so I thought I'd share it with you guys. If you look closer on the first picture, you'll see several birds are in that tree and the squirrel eating.

Too many blessings to count but I keep on counting. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

These dogs were really up for the ride. They were so happy sticking their heads out and feeling the cold wind blow on their face. Although I found it not safe but they probably will not jump. It was windy cold and this woman was up for a back ride . I found it interesting that this man was wearing shorts even though it was cold, not much snow on the ground but the wind made it so cold. Anyway, he was happily carrying this woman on his back.

Friday night, the wind was blowing and snow was falling hard, in an hour we had at least 2 inches of snow in the ground. I am kind of happy to see the snow, it reminded me of Fairbanks Alaska and my friends that I left behind. I guess the snow is staying for a while and the wind still blowing hard but it's okay I'm gonna be busy inside working on the house for this coming week.

I never thought that a house can be sold for 50% off. I found this interesting.

We have been enjoying our new friends in our back yard but I think they're going to get us broke. One bag of squirrel food only lasts for 2 days. Last week we only have one kind of squirrel (Black) but now there's two kinds and this one is so aggressive. They chase away the ones who got close to them even the birds, however, the black squirrels got along well. I guess, discrimination does exist not only for humans but for animals too. I love watching them and could watch them for a long time. It's so funny when they run around and find a place to dig and hide their food. They're so cute but I wonder if they'll do harm in our yard. I'm just getting to know them and don't know much about them. "My life with the squirrel photographs"

I love this wild flowering vines but I don't know what it is. If someone knew what it is, please tell me, I would really appreciate it. Thank you "Beauty is everywhere"

People change, season change, everything changes! First thing comes in my mind whenever I see this tree was the song by Sanctus Real "It's time for healing time to move on. It's time to fix what's been broken too long. Time to make right what has been wrong. It's time to find my way to where I belong." Whatever You're doing (something heavenly) by Sanctus Real

And have a wonderful week. The life of the squirrel and stellar jay in our yard.

Do not be worry as the bible says in Luke 12: 22-26 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes . Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds !  Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?  Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

Why do we usually wait for God to show us what he wants for us? Why do we keep asking God to show us what he wants? Doesn't it God already have what he wants? Doesn't it God gave us freewill to do what we wants? Well, I have come to realize that it is my decision to start doing something, to make a difference in my life and others. I believe that He will supply our needs and that He will guide us every step of the way. So, I guess it is up for us to take the  first step and stop waiting for God to show us what he wants for he already have what he wants..Right?
