All Sorts

I haven't been doing too much blogging lately, but that's because we've been busy doing all sorts of stuff.

 We've been feeding (and watering) the wild birds.  It's been pretty cold, so we are getting lots of the usual sparrows, juncos (snow birds), cardinals, and chickadees, but also downy woodpeckers, cedar wax wings, purple finches, goldfinches, and an unruly mob of starlings.

I love this picture because it looks like the sparrow is talking to the bird sculpture we use to hold the deicer in place!

We helped out at our parish's new "Service Saturday," helping the Missionaries of Charity at their food kitchen  in the city.

 We've been making valentine holders.

Now we just need to make the valentines!



The Emperor took a trip last weekend to visit his childhood best friend in North Carolina.

We've been on a reading binge (more on that in another post).

And we got all the kitchen cabinets cleaned!

Probably not the most exciting blog post ever!

But we haven't gotten the dreaded flu, the older Zoomlians are settling into their college classes, I've been healthy and back to running, and I feel like I'm getting everything back to normal.

God is good!
