"Satisfy us in the morning with Your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy & be glad all our days."
Psalm 90:14
God sent me a sign of His unfailing love for me this morning!
Here is a view out back.
Can you see Sophie there in the recliner, looking outside so intently? Here's what she's so interested in! Male & female cardinals, chickadees, Gregory Peck-er (our Red-bellied woodpecker), Robert Downy Jr. Jr. (our Downy woodpecker), finches, & sparrows. Unfortunately the titmice & mourning doves were camera shy. I guess they thought they were having a bad feathers day : )
I am feeling much better ... I'd say about 95 percent : ) I'd like to say thank you once again to everyone who sent me good wishes & prayers ... they were very much appreciated! I've accomplished some stitching during my down time & lately I've been trying to do a little bit of putting away/decluttering/reorganization each day. Christmas is still here a little bit. The stitched ornaments are still hanging on the tree which John & I continue to light it up each night. There are still a few decorations on tables or counters, & I'm sure anyone passing by the house at night or in the early morning wonders why the pine tree in the front yard is still lit with Christmas lights. They're not lit in this photo I took earlier, but you can see that they're still there : )
I guess I'll spend the rest of this week putting away the remainder of the decorations ... sigh! Well, per my Christmas countdown counter today there are only 337 days until next Christmas : )
While I was putting away a few decorations the other day, Sophie decided to help me by flopping herself down on the papers I was using to wrap some things.
It looks like I have many signs of God's unfailing love for me today ... snow, birds, returning health, & a helpful kitty! I am very blessed indeed : )
I have much to share with you on the stitching front, the stashing front, & a last bit of Christmas. I will do that, or at least a part of it, next time.
Wishing you a day filled with joy!

So glad that your feeling better Shirlee. Loved all the pics. I have several kitties that are helpful like that.

Oh, Shirlee! I'm so glad that you got some snow. I know how much you've missed it there. Your birds are beautiful. I'm sure Sophie was thrilled to have a special place to watch them from!
Have a blessed day!

So glad things are going well for you Shirlee. Love the bird photos. And sweet Sophie.
What a beautiful posting. You are truly blessed. I grew up with snow. Always played in it and never had to drive in it... that was Dad's job. The chickadee is my all time favorite bird and I think the female Cardinal is more beautiful than the male. The pictures are wonderful reminders for me. Thanks so much.
Peace and Blessings to all, Barb
Love those snow pics, Shirlee. :D
beautiful view you have there and I would have turned my chair round too :)
love the photos of the birds and glad to hear you are feeling better :) love mouse xxxxx

Oh Shirlee, I wish I was in your little corner of heaven today. I just love it when it snows and watching the birds is an added bonus! I'm glad you are feeling better.
Glad you are feeling better, Shirlee! Love your bird and snow pictures you shared with us! What a good helper you have in Sophie.

Oh so happy for you Shirlee...you have some snow! Love your bird feeder and all your birds. It is such a treat to watch the birds and animals. Glad you are feeling 95%--and hope for 100% soon!

Glad you're feeling much better. I know you love the white stuff so I'm sure you had a smile this morning.
I am VERY glad you are feeling better!! Very! And I absolutely love the birdie pictures! So vivid and clear! I can't seem to get them clearly... Sigh. I emailed you about something... let me know. Hugs to you!
I'm pretty sure there are lots of people in northern Indiana and Illinois who are not feeling blessed by all the snow they received last night.
I love your feeder and seeing your birds. I haven't seen the female Cardinals in over a week. I hope they are ok.
Lovely snow and bird pictures. I get giddy when the snow flies. We had a beautiful snow fall yesterday; it was so light a swirling like in a snow globe. Glad to hear you are feeling better. Curious kitties are such fun helpers. :)
I too am thankful for His unfailing love,
We also had beautiful snow falling today..
Went for. Walk with Papa John and Piper.
We didn't stay out long very cold and still snowing.
Glad you are feeling better.
Woolie Blessings & Joy
What pretty pictures! So happy for you : ) Thanks for sharing your joy!
Gorgeous snow! I'm trying hard not to be envious :D Enjoy every bit of it, and I don't blame you one bit for keeping those lights in the tree!
A beautiful view you have from your very comfy looking chair.
Great pictures you have captured of your feathered friends who have come to visit for a tasty treat.
Aww your kitty is so beautiful.
So pleased to read you are feeling much brighter.
Hey Shirlee!
Gald to hear that you are feeling better. I would love to have the peace and stillness of a snowy day. The quiet, no need to rush around..no luck with that here so far. Your pics are amazing.
Happy Wednesday!
I am so glad you are feeling better. I told DH last night that this had been a bad week for me so far and it needed to turn around. Your email replys come in as no reply. How about sending me your email if you don't mind. About the snow, I love a good snow (no ice) but since we are not getting the white stuff and only the bone chilling cold, I am ready for it to get warm!
So glad you're on the mend. The photos of the bird in your yard are gorgeous! That's one thing I do miss living out here - no cardinals and no blue jays. I always enjoyed those two birds when I was growing up in the midwest.
Oh, it's good to read this post, Shirlee--I was starting to really worry about you. Wonderful to hear you're feeling almost normal again--and how nice to get snow in KY! A real treat for you I know :)
Beautiful photos , and you had snow great.
Your birds look so colourful .
So happy you are feeling much better .big hugs and xxx.
Hi dear Shirlee, oh, how I envy you the snow - it looks so beautiful and I love all your birds that visit you. Helpful kitty cats are the best, aren;t they and I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better, my dear.
hugs, Kaye
So glad you are feeling better Shirlee. Such beautiful photos. We have lots of cardinals, but I never have been able to get any good photos of them. Yours are awesome!
I just discovered your lovely blog! Thank you for the reminder of all the blessings we have from God. Your Sophie is such a pretty cat; she reminds me of my Mushroom.
So many wonderful bird pics. I love that your sweet Sophie is keeping an eye on all those birds.
You make me laugh,,337 days. Stating that as you take down the Christmas decorations! :-)
I am glad that you were blessed with the snow. I love the snow, especially when I am indoors, viewing it fall, while I sit i by the fire stitching.
Life is good!
I love all the photos of the birds!! We have the same selection of birds that visit our feeder as well!!
Hugs!!
Heather
So glad you are feeling better and are enjoying your snow! Love your bird feeder!
