And for Christmas, a song I have always equated with Christmas.


Hallelujah Chorus, from Messiah | The Tabernacle Choir

Have a very Merry Blessed Christmas!

Don't watch their "Silent Night" video if you cry easily like I do. 

Merry Christmas and God bless!

O Holy Night - Josh Groban (Lyrics/Vietsub)


Yes, another version that I enjoyed. (Hope it works)
Vietnamese subtitles I thought were interesting. No, I can't read or understand, but still interesting.

Merry Christmas and God bless.

O Holy Night - Aaron Neville



You all be safe and God bless.

So it's that time of year.


O Holy Night by Christmas Carols from King's

I like a lot of Christmas songs, but this is mostly my favorite. I will probably share different versions so hopefully you won't get tired of hearing it.
I love how choirs sing it.
Merry Christmas.
You all be safe and God bless.

P.S. I decided to add an edit after I saw how the post looks. I think it's funny that I was on you tube when I decided to share the video, and it posted saying you have to go to you tube. I thought that was how it worked. Oh well. Just hope you like it. :)

 They need warm things for the babies in North Carolina.


They will take anything new or used.

Thank you.

Hummingbird

 I went out for a bit this morning. Mid 70s. Nice!

And I saw a hummingbird! I tried to get a video but it didn't work. Well, I could see it but I knew what I was looking for. :)

So I'll post the two pictures I think you might like.

Hummingbird and morning glory.


And a picture of the hummingbird resting on a branch.


I have bird feeders out. Not hummingbird feeders because Louisiana has enough wasps without attracting them more. But regular seed feeders. We have one sparrow that doesn't fly very well, and I think there is something wrong with it's legs because whenever it lands, for the most part, it sits on its stomach and doesn't stand on its legs. 

Here is a picture when it got confused and landed on the ramp right in front of my scooter!


One of my sons had been watching for me to come back in. He walked out slowly and the bird began flying. For a moment I thought it might land on the bird feeder, but it ended up on the lower level of the ramp. I think it mostly doesn't see so well, either. It is often sleeping at night in the bowl feeder I have.

I am thankful that the new storm in the Gulf/Caribbean will miss Louisiana. Now I pray for Florida.

You all be safe and God bless.

Hummingbird food, but no Hummingbirds

 






The only plus to not being able to keep your yard under control.

You all be safe and God bless.

A tiny update since the month is almost over.

 Doing well. We are blessed.

Been feeding birds. Cat TV as I call it for our 4 cats. :) They do not eat all the seed. Quite messy actually.

Here is a volunteer sunflower my son took a picture of yesterday.


It is growing near a planter with what is called "Blue Boa Hummingbird Mint". I do enjoy watching hummingbirds. I also have a planter with Impatiens growing. Red flowers there. But no picture, sorry.

A closer shot of the sunflower.


Some of my Zinnias. This is when they were looking better. They have grown quite bigger than expected since then. Quite literally falling over themselves. 


Hummingbirds like them, too. :)

As do little butterflies. At least I think it was a butterfly. :)


We've been enjoying a nice change from the normal Louisiana heat and humidity from summer, with temps below 90, but still humid.

But now summer with be returning next week, along with the heat. I thank the Lord that our AC is working.

You all be safe and God bless.

I miss you, Hun.

 It would have been 50 years today. 


Love your family while you can.

Crazy thunderstorms the last couple days

 Birds waiting out the rain.


After the storm.


A few zinnias.



Look at the spines on this weed!


Hurricane season starts soon.

You all be safe and God bless.

A few pictures

 

Magnolia

Elderberry

Catalpa

The only way I've been able to grow "Red Hot Pokers".
Not as pretty as I'd like them to be, but until I can make a dedicated garden to grow them, there is no chance of them getting mowed over. :)

You all be safe and God bless.

Hard to believe

 it's been a year.







Miss you, Hun. 

Thank you, Lord for taking him home to you and making him whole again.


You all be safe and God bless.

Thank you, Lord for watching over us, for blessing us and keeping us safe.

He is Risen!

This is what you get when you can't mow

 besides long grass..






I did some reading and apparently bees love thistles. And it takes 2 years for them to flower.

You all be safe and God bless.
